Wanna see you happy
I wanna keep you happy

Hey, pretty mama, wanna keep you happy
We'll find a way to put some sweetness and joy in everyday
I really wanna see you fly, touch the sky
I wanna wrap your laughter with a ribbon
And give it back each time you cry

Oh, pretty mama, wanna keep you happy
I'll betcha we can croon a tune it'll take the blues away

Say pretty mama, see the pretty lily, girl
It doesn't worry 'bout its beauty or purity
You're like a pretty butterfly, kiss the sky
Whatever you are after, you've been given

I'm thinkin' it's no wonder why
That pretty mama, you're bound to be happy
Gonna be amazed, well

When you sing, sing your pretty prayer
With your visions and dreams clear
You've been cookin' and speakin'
And now it's time to spread your wings
And like a kite stringin'
Let me see you fly

Come on baby, see you fly to your heaven
Come on, let me see you fly, girl
Come on, let me see you fly to your heaven

Uh-huh-huh, oh, woo

I wanna keep you happy

Girl, I really wanna see you fly
Fly
Really wanna see you fly to your heaven
Come on lemme see you fly to your heaven
Oh
Oh, ain't it pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty butterfly

Come fly, baby
Come fly, come fly with me, come
Fly
