Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly)

A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a love 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

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, to fly
Oh, yeah
Come on and say

(Chanson papillon, chanson)
(Chanson papillon, chanson)
(Chanson papillon, chanson)
(Chanson papillon, chanson)
