Bobby Goldsboro - Butterfly For Bucky Lyrics

Timeless classic, it will always be a beautiful song. One that brings me to tears😭😭.

please get a kleenx bobby golds barrow knows how to sing a prue tear jerker you dont cry you hae no heart

Bit pointless telling little Bucky that the butterfly is yellow if he’s been blind since birth. He won’t know what yellow is.

Linda apresentação..!

I'm glad I found this. I've been meaning to look this one up. Every once in a while, this song will pop into my head. I'm amazed that I can remember the lyrics and the tune, from: "There are things in this universe, we just don't understand..." EXACTLY as they were recorded. I didn't remember the entire song, but I remembered the whole ending perfectly. I guess it made that much of an impression on me because I think I only heard it a couple of times on the radio. They used to play "Honey I miss You" a lot. That was another tear jerker. I think that if you don't get at least a little emotional listening to those 2 songs, you're not human.

I cried the first time I heard this song. I still cry every time I hear him sing "Daddy, he said, I can see!"

bobby goldsbarrow sings this betifull song bucky can and i cry

this song is sad and happy and bobby the way he sings this three hanky

THAT STORIE IS BEAUTIFUL AS WELL AS THE SON, LOVE HIS VOICE AND SONGS,

Such beautiful melodies hid the melancholy lyrics in so much 1970’s sunshine pop.

Beautiful... just like the sweet lady that first played this for me.

I thought the B-side in the UK was the better song - "Another Night Alone".

wonderful years

LOVE BOBBY GOLDSBORO MY SISTER LOVED HONEY ITS STILL MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR IT MISS U SIS LOVE U

beautiful

Please Kill me !!

So get off the starting to listen to Tex Ritter.

So get off the site and go listen to Tex Ritter or something.

Bobby Goldsboro was definitely the symbol of helmet hair in the 60's and 70's.

Yes and he was gorgeous too

AND THEN AFTER THE BUTTERFLY GAVE HIM HIS SIGHT BACK - THE FIRST THING HE SAW WAS THE DOCTOR AND BUCKY SAID - "DAAAADDDY!!!" - AND BOBBY GAVE HIM A SLAP AND SAID "YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHIT! I BOUGHT YOU TO THE HOSPITAL, INTRODUCED YOU TO A DOCTOR WHO JUST SO HAPPENED TO RUN A BUTTERFLY FARM IN THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS WHERE A KID BROKE THE WINDOW WITH A FOOTBALL AND LET ALL THE BUTTERFLIES OUT (MOSTLY YELLER ONES) AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME? WELL NOW, I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU HERE TO BE ADOPTED!!! ALTHOUGH, MAYBE NOT. I'LL TAKE YOUR BUTTERFLY AWAY -YOU'LL GO BLIND AGAIN AND I CAN CLAIM SHIT LOADS OF MONEY FROM THE U.K. GOVERNMENT FOR DISABILITY PAYMENTS, A PARKING SPACE PRACTICALLY IN THE GROCERY STORE - AT THE CHECKOUT - FREE TV LICENSE ETC. ACTUALLY, I THINK I'LL POKE MY EYES OUT!!

you are an ass,,this is a true story about a friend of Bobbys ,,,
he is a great singer

+becky watson Yes Becky. Nice song though.

WHAT i WANT TO KNOW IS HOW CAN BUCKY ENVISAGE "A BIG YELLOW BUTTERFLY" OR A TREE ??? HE'S BLIND AS A BAT??? HE WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT EITHER OF THEM LOOKED LIKE??? OOOOOHH ! INCONSISTENCIES!!

people dancing to this sad song is ridiculous.

if you listen, it has a happy ending

@Tim Carriker I know it has a happy ending but people listening to it for the first time should not be acting this way. Let's cheer after we know the ending.

videoarchiveman Shut up!

I've always been a big Bobby Goldsboro fan, but I think I missed this one. Another great song by Bobby. Again, it brought tears to my eyes, like so many of his great songs. Thanks for posting

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

made me wanted plrase the lord

One of the most Beautiful songs I have ever heard. Play it over and over. Thank you for uploading it!

This has remained one of my favorites since hearing it in the 1970's!

I defy anyone to this to this song and not get emotional!!

Ron Angelo I see you were emotional enough to accidentally type the word "this" instead of " listen"! Ha ha! Hey no problem. I do it all the time! I couldn't agree with you more. If you don't get a little choked up listening to this, I don't think you're human!

easy to dance to that!

Beautiful song....

How do you dance to this??

I have tried numerous times but I cannot get through this song without crying!

I love this, it is so powerful and done by the best who could have ever done it.

good story i cried...but i think much better if he slow down so i can feel it

Not sure why this song partly stuck in my head since I was a little kid.. I remember the basic story but never knew the name of the song or the singer. I finally happened to think of it and ask my mother who found this video.... Love it..

A beautiful story. A beautiful song. A heavenly vocal interpretation by the inimitable Bobby Goldsboro. Thanks!

How can anyone not like this song? It is beautiful! The words are great and Bobby Goldsboro has a very unique voice. BELIEVE in MIRACLES! I had not noticed the dancers the first time I viewed this. After reading the comments, I noticed the dancers. So what? I do not know if that was planned or just spontaneous and caught on with the others, and it does not matter to me.I wish they had shown the rest of the musicians. Anway, GREAT SONG and GREAT SINGING ARTIST!

I agree this is terrible . But if you want to see a worse 1 look up no charge by jj Barry I think

If ever a singer should be made illegal, it's this one. Goldsboro was a serial offender but this has to be the worst of the lot.

You are talking garbage, this is a great song and so is much of his repertoire.

Thanks for posting this I've been looking for this song for ages.......It's such a beautiful song :-)))

nice song. look @ the audience dancing along.
