Lyrics
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A mended 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, when we were very young
Like butterflies, like a hot butterfly, yeah
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by (let it slide on by)
We had an alibi (no, oh)
All our memories are burnin' in time
Like a bittersweet perfume (ooh, yeah)
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon?
Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterflies (butterflies), like a hot butterfly, yeah
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by (let it slide on by)
We had an alibi
(Ooh) like butterfly
(Ooh) oh yeah
(Like butterflies) chanson papillon, oh, oh, yeah
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gone are the days of instant romance (oh)
And the nights of slow goodbyes (oh)
It was a time of life when foxy was the dance (dance)
But then you got wise to all my alibis
Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterfly (butterfly), like a hot butterflies (like a butterfly)
Chanson papillon (papillon), we had just begun
We let it slide on by (let it slide on by)
We had an alibi
A mended photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't never, never want to fade (never wanna fade)
And a love song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away
Chanson papillon, when we were very young
Like butterfly (butterfly), like a hot butterfly (like a butterfly), oh
Chanson papillon (papillon), we had just begun to fly
Let it slide on by (oh)
(Ooh) like butterfly (oh yeah)
(Ooh) like butterfly (chanson papillon, yeah)
Oh, chanson papillon (papillon), when we were very young
Like butterfly (butterfly), like a hot butterfly (like a butterfly)
Oh, oh, chanson papillon (papillon), we had just begun to fly
Oh, fly up in the sky (in the sky), fly up in the sky
Where did I long go? (Like a butterfly, butterfly, baby)
Where did it go? (Like a butterfly, baby)
Fly up in the sky, fly up in the sky (I don't know)
Chanson papillon (like a butterfly, butterfly, baby, like a butterfly, baby)
Fly up in the sky (fly up in the sky), flying high (fly up in the sky)
Fly high, fly high, yeah (like a butterfly, butterfly, baby, like a butterfly, baby)
Fly high, baby (fly up in the sky, fly up in the sky)
Chanson papillon (like a butterfly, butterfly, baby, like a butterfly, baby), yeah
