Poor Butterfly |
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 |
Poor Butterfly |
