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
