Some Things That Glitter

Once I loved a butterfly

Don't wonder how, don't ask me why

But I believed what I'd been told

All things that glitter can't be gold, ooh yeah

All things that glitter can't be gold

Those jealous minds conspired to say

Just let that creature fly away

How can it be she has it all?

Her pride is headed for a fall, ooh yeah

All things that glitter can't be gold

Oh Lord, what races we run

Seeking our place in the sun

Reaching and hoping

We'll find the right one

Now every day a new joy waits

My butterfly grew golden wings

It seems we find as we grow old

Some things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold

So let us mind what's there to see

Before our hearts become too cold

In spite of all that we've been told

Some things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold
