Poor Butterfly (Album Version) - Susannah McCorkle |
| [00:11.39] |
There's a story told of a little Japanese |
| [00:17.82] |
Sitting demurely neath the cherry blossom trees |
| [00:23.80] |
Miss Butterfly's her name |
| [00:30.69] |
A sweet little innocent child was she |
| [00:36.24] |
'Till a fine young American from the sea |
| [00:41.15] |
To her garden came |
| [00:46.19] |
They met neath the cherry blossoms everyday |
| [00:50.70] |
And he taught her how to love the American way |
| [00:55.50] |
To love with her soul twas easy to learn |
| [01:04.63] |
Then he sailed away with a promise to return |
| [01:21.36] |
Poor butterfly |
| [01:33.57] |
Neath the blossoms waiting |
| [01:43.65] |
Poor Butterfly |
| [01:53.14] |
For she loved him so |
| [02:03.68] |
The moments pass into hours |
| [02:14.82] |
The hours pass into years |
| [02:23.19] |
And as she smiles through her tears |
| [02:31.99] |
She murmurs low |
| [02:39.87] |
The moon and I know that he is faithful |
| [03:01.29] |
I'm sure he'll come to me by and by |
| [03:20.68] |
But if he don't come back |
| [03:27.55] |
I want to ever sigh or cry |
| [03:39.17] |
I just must die |
| [03:48.41] |
Poor butterfly |
| [04:01.52] |
Want you tell my love |
| [04:04.53] |
Said the little Japanese |
| [04:07.96] |
Tell him I'm waiting neath the cherry blossom trees |
| [04:13.09] |
My seller man to see |
| [04:18.61] |
The beans I'm humming brie |
| [04:21.23] |
Say they guess |
| [04:24.38] |
Everyday that passes makes one day last 'till |
| [04:28.58] |
He comes to me |
| [04:32.99] |
For once butterfly gives her heart away |
| [04:38.26] |
She can't never love again |
| [04:40.78] |
She is forever for all love this world |
| [04:50.55] |
Through ages to come |
| [04:55.35] |
So her face just smiles |
| [05:02.15] |
And all her heart is growing up |
| [05:12.67] |
The moon and I know that he is faithful |
| [05:36.24] |
We're sure he'll come to me by and by |
| [05:55.89] |
But if he don't come back |
| [06:03.22] |
I'll want ever sigh or cry |
| [06:15.55] |
I just must die |
| [06:27.05] |
Poor butterfly |
