Poor Butterfly

But if he don't come back
I'll never sigh, I'll never cry
I just must die

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 don't come back
Then I'll never sigh or cry
I just must die

Poor butterfly
Poor butterfly
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 will be faithful
I'm sure he'll come to me in the by and by

But if he never comes back
I'll never sigh
And if he never comes back
You'll never catch me crying
Oh no
I just must die

Poor butterfly
