about

Lepidoptera is the order of insects that includes butterlies and moths. 10% of all species of living organisms are lepidopterans! This song is about a butterly and a moth that fell in love.

lyrics

The butterfly said to the moth:
"I really like your fuzzy wings"
The little brown moth fluttered
And she gave the butterfly a wink

I fly by night, and I know you fly by day
Go toward the light, and I'll meet you just about half way

The butterfly said to the moth:
"Your feathery antennae rock"
The moth said, "It's my bedtime,
but tomorrow is the equinox"

I fly by night, by the light of the milky way
The sun's too bright, but I can meet you at the break of day

Flittering in the light of the dawn
Sharing nectar, and humming a song
They bob and weave, and race to the tree
But they know it can't last long

Said the moth to the butterfly:
"Your colors give me a thrill"
The butterfly opened his wings,
And they both stood perfectly still

I fly by night, and I know you fly by day
Go towards the light, and I'll meet you just about half way
I fly by night, by the light of the milky way
The sun's too bright, but I can meet you at the break of day
I'll meet you just about half way.
