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 bu*terflies, like hot bu*terfly
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 bu*terflies, like hot bu*terfly
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 bu*terflies, like hot bu*terfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Let it slide on by
Let it slide on by Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like bu*terflies, like hot bu*terfly
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
