Song Meaning
Forrest Frank's 'Butterflies' is a tender love song that traces a relationship from its nervous beginnings to marriage and the hope of growing old together. The lyrics capture the excitement of first dates, the emotional moment of asking for the bride's hand, and the joy of walking down the aisle. Later, the song reflects on the couple's shared life, acknowledging mistakes and promising faithfulness. It closes with a prayerful vision of their future, watching their child grow. While the song is not explicitly religious, its themes of commitment, love, and prayerful hope resonate with Christian values of covenant love and faithfulness.

(Mm)
(Mm)
Oh, I pulled up to your house
Said that I'd be here right now
Shook your father's hand and said "We wouldn't be out past like ten"
I was nervous you could tell
Everything my mind would yell
You kissed me, said "Goodnight" (mm)
You gave me butterflies (mm)
Butterflies (mm)
Oh I remember when I asked your dad
To marry you that afternoon
He wouldn't look me in the eyes
So I wouldn't have to see him cry
And just like that, you're on the aisle
Walking towards my nervous smile
You kissed me, you're all mine (mm)
You gave me butterflies (mm)
Butterflies (mm)
Oh, I know sometimes I made mistakes that hurt you
And I know sometimes it feels like I desert you
But I promise I will never let you down
As long as I am around
Oh, I pray one day you'll be there
Sitting in a rocking chair
Holding on to what we made
Years of laughter, tears and pain
I'll walk over to your side
To get a glimpse of those blue eyes
He's just like you, full of life (mm)
He gave me butterflies(mm)
Butterflies (mm)
Butterflies (mm)
Butterflies (mm)
Butterflies (mm)
