36 Best Butterfly Songs – Songs with Butterfly in the Title
When you think of butterflies at a wedding, you first think of the release of butterflies after the I Do’s.
We do things a bit differently around here. Instead of focusing on the actual butterflies, we will provide you with a list of the best songs with the word butterfly or butterflies in the title.
The reason why butterflies are included in a wedding is because of their brightly colored wings. Another reason is that butterflies start a new beginning after a life of being a caterpillar.
I hope you enjoy my list of butterfly songs.
