Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly) Lyrics - Chaka Khan

A faded photograph I mailed to you 

With feelings I don't want to face 

And the long song of surrender in blue 

I remember when you took my breath away, yeah 

Chanson papillon, we were very young 

Like butterflies, like hot butterfly 

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

Chanson papillon, we were very young 

Like butterflies, like hot butterfly 

Chanson papillon, we had just begun 

We let it slide on by, we didn't realize 

Chanson papillon 

Chanson papillon 

Gone are the days of instant romance 

And the nights of slow goodbyes 

That was a time of life when foxy was the dance 

And then you got wise to all my lies 

Chanson papillon, we were very young 

Like butterflies, like hot butterfly 

Chanson papillon, we had just begun 

We let it slide on by 

Chanson papillon, we were very young 

Like butterflies, like hot butterfly 

Chanson papillon, we had just begun 

Just begun to fly
