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
