Lyrics Butterflies and Beefstew - Mike Love

Butterflies and Beefstew

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
I never got to say goodbye
I never got to tell you I
I’ve really been trying to work it out
But all this work is always dragging me down
Feels like I’m always running around
I just want to see you growing tall
Wanna be there to pick you up when you fall
And come running whenever you call
Cause all of these moments they carry me through
They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside
And I can’t help but swell up with pride
When I think of the bridges you crossed
Just to be who you are today
The obstacles that stood in your way
That you conquered
And when I get caught up and I need something to cut me back down to size
I just look in your beautiful eyes and I realize
That money comes
And money goes but in this life
All I know
Is you ain’t got nothing
If you ain’t got something called Love
Life is a moment a blink of an eye
If you don’t grab it it passes you by
I never could quite understand why
I’m just glad I can share it
Share it with you
And see you do all of the things that you do
And teach you how to tie up your shoes
Cause the little things mean everything the smiles you give me give me wings to
rise above all this pain
And Love is all that remains when I hold you
And these moments we share make it hard to bear the moments we are apart
They pull at the strings of my heart
And the teardrops start to fall
Oh Lord why am I always out working when I should be playing at home with you
I’ve spent so much time just running
And so now I’m coming home to you
Money comes
And money goes but in this life
All I know
Is you ain’t got nothing
If you ain’t got something called Love
You saved my life
Given me sight
All that I am belongs to you
And when I go
Want you to know
I’ll be watching over you
