Poor Butterfly Lyrics - Tony Bennett

There's a story told of a little Japanese 

Sitting demurely beneath the cherry blossom trees 

Miss Butterfly 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, every day 

And he taught her how to love in the American way 

To love with a soul was easy to learn 

And he sailed away with a promise to return

Poor Butterfly 

'Neath the blossoms waiting 

Poor Butterfly 

For she loved him so 

The moments pass into hours 

The hours pass into years 

And as she smiled through her tears 

She murmured low 

The moon and I 

Knew that he'd be faithful 

She knew he'd come 

To a by and by 

But if he n'er came back 

She'd never sigh or cry 

She just would die 

Poor Butterfly

But if he n'er came back 

She'd never sigh or cry 

She just would die
