《Poor Butterfly》歌词

[00:00:12] There's a story told of a little Japanese.

[00:00:18] Sitting demurely 'neath the cherry blossom trees.

[00:00:25] Miss Butterfly's her name.

[00:00:32] A sweet little innocent child was she

[00:00:38] 'Till a fine young American from the sea

[00:00:45] To her garden came.

[00:00:52] They met 'neath the cherry blossoms everyday.

[00:00:58] And he taught her how to love the American way.

[00:01:05] To love with her soul t'was easy to learn.

[00:01:13] Then he sailed away with a promise to return.

[00:01:25] Poor butterfly

[00:01:33] 'Neath the blossoms waiting.

[00:01:41] Poor Butterfly

[00:01:46] For she loved him so.

[00:01:53] The moments pass into hours.

[00:02:00] The hours pass into years.

[00:02:06] And as she smiles through her tears,

[00:02:12] She murmurs low:

[00:02:19] The moon and I know that he'll be faithful

[00:02:33] I'm sure he'll come to me by and by.

[00:02:46] But if he won't come back then I'll never sigh or cry,

[00:03:00] I just must die.

[00:03:12] Poor butterfly.
