Poor Butterfly - Deanna Durbin

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 smiles through her tears

She murmurs low

The moon and i know that he'll be faithful

And that he'll come to me by and by

But if he won't come back then i'll never sigh or cry

I just will die

Poor butterfly

One fine day in cherry blossom time

Little butterfly lost her heart

As he whispered will you be mine

Then he taught her to love the american way

But he sailed alone promising to return some day

The moon and i know that he'll be faithful

And that he'll come to me by and by

But if he won't come back then i'll never sigh or cry

I just will die

Poor butterfly
