Why yes, Parton is just a wee bit obsessed with butterflies, come on, it could be worse. Anyways, her love for butterflies brought her to title her 1974 album, ‘Love Is Like A Butterfly’ – although she does also feature the winged beauts on many of her album covers too. Moreover, the song also connects her immense love with Carl, where she sings, “Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh. The multicolored moods of love are like it’s satin wings. Love makes your heart feel strange inside. It flutters like soft wings in flight.”
