Here are some alternate lyrics we sang to the accompaniment only version of "Autumn Leaf" from Music K-8, Vol. 11, No. 1.
We used this song for our Kindergarten Graduation and Promotion/Awards program in June. I should note that I work for a private religious school where it is okay to speak of God in a song during the performance.
Butterfly
- Butterfly, in the sky,
- It's always nice when you pass by.
- You have changed from small to grand,
- And this is all as God has planned.
- Chorus:
- Butterfly, in the sky
- On colored wings
- you go by.
- Butterfly, you can fly:
- Lovely colors in the sky!
- Butterfly, in the air,
- You flutter past without a care.
- Now we've met, you and I.
- I will remember once you fly.
We painted watercolor butterflies for our backdrop, and the song made a great companion to the "Ready to Fly" theme of the program.
