Chaka Khan – Papillon (Aka Hot Butterfly) lyrics

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

CHORUS:

CHAUD SONT papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
CHAUD SONT 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

Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies

CHORUS

CHAUD SONT papillon, CHAUD SONT
CHAUD SONT papillon, CHAUD SONT
CHAUD SONT papillon, CHAUD SONT
CHAUD SONT papillon, CHAUD SONT
