You tuck me in
Turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and
Combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back.

You had to do it all alone
Make a living
Make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn at night
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away.

Turned around and you were there
The two of us made quite a pair
Daddy's little girl was here at last
Looked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten
Don't know how it got so far so fast

And yes I still don't understand
It's not anything we planned
Kind of makes you think it's meant to be
I always knew the day would come
You'd stop crawling, start to run
Beautiful as beautiful can be

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away
You've been waiting for this day
All along you've known just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away

"Wow girl! I'm just gonna make a YouTube channel. It would be so amazing!" Kayle squealed like a five year old. After a week I finally got a day off so I'm spending time with Kayle.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Not gonna happen girl."

"Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly awaaaa--aaa-ay!!!" Kayle sang along. Correction, SCREECHED. I winced at the last word.

"Gosh Kayle, please don't sing like this! My ears hurt."

She gave me an evil smirk and grabbed a comb from her dresser. She jumped up on the bed and started dancing and now it goes....

"She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirt,
she's cheer captain and I'm on bleachers! Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time!
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you seee
You belong with me!
You belong with meeeeeeeeeee!!"

"Wow Kayle Taylor Swift would be so proud of you!!" I sarcastically said.

She pouted and said, "Naww. But you still loveee me!" Her face beamed like a Christmas tree. I rolled my eyes and looked around her room.

Kayle's room was very pretty and spacious. The walls were painted in cream and brown colour. There's a flat screen TV in front of the comfy queen sized bed. The vanity was quite cute at one corner. A white chandelier hung from the ceiling. The furry white carpet in contrast with wooden flooring looked good.
