G     D           Dm
You are the most beautiful thing
     C
I've ever seen

You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow

Chorus:
Cm                      G
I just had to tell you so

Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow

Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know?

Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know ?

Chorus:
Cm                      G
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high Fly fly fly
