Poor Butterfly Full Lyrics
[00:12.25] There's a story told of a little Japanese.
[00:18.79] Sitting demurely 'neath the cherry blossom trees.
[00:24.53] Miss Butterfly's her name.
[00:32.27] A sweet little innocent child was she
[00:38.66] 'Till a fine young American from the sea
[00:44.55] To her garden came.
[00:52.53] They met 'neath the cherry blossoms everyday.
[00:58.95] And he taught her how to love the American way.
[01:06.04] To love with her soul t'was easy to learn.
[01:14.40] Then he sailed away with a promise to return.
[01:26.46] Poor butterfly
[01:34.57] 'Neath the blossoms waiting.
[01:40.81] Poor Butterfly
[01:47.48] For she loved him so.
[01:55.45] The moments pass into hours.
[02:01.31] The hours pass into years.
[02:07.53] And as she smiles through her tears,
[02:15.41] She murmurs low:
[02:20.67] The moon and I know that he'll be faithful
[02:34.29] I'm sure he'll come to me by and by.
[02:47.89] But if he won't come back then I'll never sigh or cry,
[03:01.19] I just must die.
[03:08.02] Poor butterfly.
[03:30.13]
