Lyrics Poor Butterfly (Live At Mister Kelly's, Chicago/1957) - Sarah Vaughan
There's
a
story
told
of
a
little
Japanese.
Sitting
demurely
'neath
the
cherry
blossom
trees.
Miss
Butterfly's
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
everyday.
And
he
taught
her
how
to
love
the
American
way.
To
love
with
her
soul
t'was
easy
to
learn.
Then
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
smiles
through
her
tears,
She
murmurs
low:
The
moon
and
I
know
that
he'll
be
faithful
I'm
sure
he'll
come
to
me
by
and
by.
But
if
he
won't
come
back
then
I'll
never
sigh
or
cry,
I
just
must
die.
Poor
butterfly.
