Lyrics:

A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And the long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away, yeah
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
And 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
We let it slide on by, let it slide
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Just begun to fly

Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson

Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
