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 awayChanson 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 realizeAll 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 afternoonChanson 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 realizeChanson papillon
Chanson papillonGone 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 liesChanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Let it slide on by
Let it slide on byChanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Just begun to flyOoh, yeah, I wanna sayChanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
