sarah vaughan - poor butterfly lyrics

Loading...

there’s a story told of a little j-panese.
sitting demurely ‘neath the cherry blossom trees.
miss b-tterfly’s her name.
a sweet little innocent child was she
’till a fine young american from the sea
to her garden came.

they met ‘neath the cherry blossoms everyday.
and he taught her how to love the american way.
to love with her soul t’was easy to learn.
then he sailed away with a promise to return.

poor b-tterfly
‘neath the blossoms waiting.
poor b-tterfly
for she loved him so.

the moments p-ss into hours.
the hours p-ss into years.
and as she smiles through her tears,
she murmurs low:

the moon and i know that he’ll be faithful
i’m sure he’ll come to me by and by.
but if he won’t come back then i’ll never sigh or cry,
i just must die.
poor b-tterfly.
