 lyrics: klaus meine
 
 in the temple of gods
 the day had come to come together
 in the early morning sun
 they saw that girl that come to heaven 
 they ask her 'bout life on earth
 if it was getting any better
 she told 'em someone took her life
 if they could send her back
 just one more time
 she knew that someone feels so blue 
 wouldn't it be nice ...hold on
 to spread the wings and fly ...don't kill the butterfly
 to see him one more time ...hold on
 to be a yellow butterfly ...don't kill the butterfly 
 he's been sitting on the bay
 lost inside a cloud of darkness
 when i saw the butterfly
 dancing in the wind
 the story goes
 he knew that she was still so close 
 wouldn't it be nice ...hold on
 to spread the wings and fly ...don't kill the butterfly
 to see him one more time ...hold on
 to be a yellow butterfly ...don't kill the butterfly
