"Catch Another Butterfly" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

Do you remember days not so very long ago
When the world was run
By people twice your size
And the days were full of laughter
And the nights were full of stars
And when you grew tired
Well you could close your eyes
Oh yes the stars were there for wishing
And the wind was there for kites
And the morning sun was there
For rise and shine
And even if the sniffles kept you home
From school in bed
Well you couldn't hardly stay there nine

And I wonder has the smell of morning faded
What happened to the robin's song
That sparkled in the sky
Where's all the water gone
That tumbled down the stream
Will I ever catch another butterfly

Do you remember campouts
Right in your own backyard
Just wondering how aeroplanes could fly
And the hours you spent just playing with
A funny old rock you had found
With crystal specks as blue as all the sky

Now I watch my son he's playing with his toys
He's happy and I give him all I can
But I Can't help feeling
Just a little tingly inside
When I hear him say he want's to be a man
