Poor butterfly, needs the blossoms, waiting Poor butterfly, for she loved him so The moments pass into hours The hours pass 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 butterfly But if he won't come back Then I'll never sigh or cry I just must die Poor butterfly
