Poor But - ter - fly     'neath the blossoms wait -ing

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 faith - ful

I'm sure he'll come back, by and by

But if he don't come back, then I never sigh or cry --

I just must die."    Poor But - ter - fly
