That morning came in whispers
Gray clouds wrapped the sky
Hospitals humming prayers
While time just passed us by
I held you close, your heartbeat
A miracle so small
And when the rain started falling
Jordan said, “Even God cried for us all.”
Pre-Chorus
Every drop on the window
Every tear we couldn’t hide
Heaven leaned a little closer
And stood right by our side
Chorus
So fly, my purple butterfly
Born of love, not goodbye
Two hours here, a lifetime true
Every breath was wrapped in you
Me and your daddy, hand in hand
Heaven touched us where we stand
You didn’t stay, but my heart knows why
Angels needed a purple butterfly
Verse 2
Your daddy held me tighter
When the world felt too unkind
His tears fell with the rain that day
Grief stitched into time
We sang you You Are My Sunshine
As softly as we could
Two souls learning how to breathe again
Because of you, because we loved
Pre-Chorus
You taught us how to be parents
With no time at all
You made us a family
Strongest kind of all
Chorus
So fly, my purple butterfly
Paint the sky where dreams reside
You learned love in your mother’s arms
Safe from hurt, safe from harm
Me and Jordan, broken but true
Made a family because of you
No storm can steal, no night deny
The love of a purple butterfly
Bridge
And when it rains, we’ll remember
Heaven wept, earth knew
God held our daughter gently
While we learned how to, too
You’re with my dad, with all our love
No pain where you are now
But here you live in everything
In every then and now
Last Chorus (soft)
Fly on, my purple butterfly
Written in the stars so high
Two hours formed eternity
You changed the world by being meant to be
Me, Jordan, and love that won’t fade
A family the rain helped make
You didn’t leave—you learned to fly
Our forever: purple butterfly
Outro
When it rains, I’ll look for you
Dancing in the light
My little girl… my purple butterfly
