Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly)

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

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

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

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

But then you got wise to all my lies

Chanson 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 by

Chanson papillon, we were very young

Like butterflies, like hot butterfly

Chanson papillon, we had just begun

Just begun to fly

Ooh, yeah, I wanna say

Chanson papillon, chanson

Chanson papillon, chanson

Chanson papillon, chanson

Chanson papillon, chanson

Chanson papillon, chanson
