A faded photograph I mailed to you
|
With feelings I don't want to face
|
And a long song of surrender in blue
|
I remember when you took my breath away
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
Chanson papillon, we were very young
|
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
|
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
|
We let it slide on by
|
We didn't realize
|
|
All our memories are burning in time
|
Like a bittersweet perfume
|
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
|
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon
|
|
Gone are the days of instant romance
|
And the nights of slow goodbyes
|
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
|
But then you got wise to all my lies
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Chanson papillon, chanson
|
Chanson papillon, chanson
|
Chanson papillon, chanson
|
Chanson papillon, chanson
|
