[Verse 1] What is this thing in life that persuades me to spend Time away from you? If you can answer this, you can have the moon This is the place to be, any way you can see Theres a lovely view Why are there always so many other things to do? [Chorus 1] Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing round my head When Im alone, I think of you And the life wed lead if we could only be free From these distractions [Verse 2] The postmans at the door While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall Pretend were not at home and theyll disappear I want to be with you, tell me what I can do Nothing is too small Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all [Chorus 2] Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing around my head When Im alone, I think of you And the things wed do if we could only be through With these distractions [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Ill find the peaceful place Far away from the noise of a busy day Where we can spend our nights Counting shooting stars [Chorus 2] Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing around my head When Im alone I think of you And the things wed do if we could only be through With these distractions [Chorus 1] Like butterflies are buzzing around my head When Im alone, I think of you And the life wed lead if we could only be free From these distractions
