Chaka Khan - Papillon (Hot Butterfly) lyrics

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 [Chorus:] 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 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 [Chorus] Chanson papillon, chanson Chanson papillon, chanson Chanson papillon, chanson Chanson papillon, chanson
