Hey Ya'll, I fell in love with Donna's lyrics - only changed 2 little words in the bridge - I guess you could call that literally adding my 2 cents worth. Seriously, I felt the song as about loving a free spirit so here's my folk pop version. It's quite different from Joanne's which I enjoyed very much. Anyway, thank you for listening and any comment you wish to share.

Here are Donna's original lyrics (with my 2 words in the bridge).
If You Would Catch A Butterfly
There she is again
A beauty in the sun
Searching for what she wants
As she rambles along
She knows life is fragile
Always got to be aware
If you could be gentle
It’ll show her you care
Chorus
Don’t move, stay still
Let her come, If she will
Hold out your hand, don’t try
If you would catch a butterfly
If you would catch a butterfly
Don’t chase don’t grab
Don’t catch her in a net
The magic of her love
Hasn’t manifested yet
She’s yours if you win her
And keep the contact strong
She’ll hold you in her awesomeness
And she won’t be wrong
Chorus
Bridge
If you love her let her fly free
If she’s your’s she won’t leave
Chorus
