Sarah Vaughan
Black Butterfly
[Verse 1]
Just a black butterfly
With your wings frayed and torn
Laughter's yours, so is scorn
As they point to you in shame

[Verse 2]
You're a black, you're a black butterfly
With your wings near the fire
But confess when your tire
Is the candle worth the flame?

[Bridge]
You're queen, queen of the night
But with morning's early light
There's not a heart to really call your own

[Verse 3]
So before, before it's too late
Change your ways and repent
Take my love that was meant
For black butterfly alone

[Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]
There's not a hear to really
Really call my own
[Verse 3]
So before, before it's too late
Change your ways and repent
Take my love that was meant
For black butterfly alone
Alone
