A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to fade [Incomprehensible]
And a love song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away

Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterflies
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by 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've climaxed in a single afternoon

Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterflies
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Let it slide on by didn't realize

Chanson papillon
Chanson papillon

Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
And then you got wise to all my lies

Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterflies
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Let it slide on by

Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterflies
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We had just begun to fly

Oh, I wanna say
Chanson papillon, Chanson
Chanson papillon, Chanson
Chanson papillon, Chanson
Chanson papillon, Chanson
Chanson papillon, Chanson
Chanson papillon, Chanson
