Ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

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 burnin’ 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 butterflies

Chanson papillon
We had just begun
Let it slide on by
We didn’t realize

Chanson papillon Chanson papillon

Ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

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 when 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
Let it slide

Chanson papillon
We were very young
Like butterflies
Like hot butterfly

Chanson papillon
We had just begun
Just begun to fly

Oh...oh...
Yeah...
I wanna sing
