Chaka Khan - Papillon lyrics

A faded photograph I mailed to you<br>With feelings I don't want to face<br>And a long song of surrender in blue<br>I remember when you took my breath away<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Chanson papillon, we were very young<br>Like butterflies, like hot butterfly<br>Chanson papillon, we had just begun<br>We let it slide on by<br>We didn't realize<br><br>All our memories are burning in time<br>Like a bittersweet perfume<br>Can you tell me how a love that's so fine<br>Could have climaxed in a single afternoon<br><br>Gone are the days of instant romance<br>And the nights of slow goodbyes<br>That was a time of life when foxy was the dance<br>But then you got wise to all my lies<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Chanson papillon, chanson<br>Chanson papillon, chanson<br>Chanson papillon, chanson<br>Chanson papillon, chanson
