How could I let you get away

How could I let you get away
The firefly in my childhood dream
the flashing smile lit up the day

How could I let you get away
The butterfly in my teen's dream
the welcome arms signaling the way

How could I let you get way
The bluebird in my youth's dream
the love song leading the way

How could I let you get away
The seagull in my aging dream
the freedom soul running away
