Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly) Chaka Khan

[Verse 1]
A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a love song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterflies
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by, didn't realize

[Post-Chorus]
Chanson papillon, chanson papillon
Ooh, ooh
