Generate meaning
1
There's a story told of a little Japanese
2
Sitting demurely 'neath the cherry blossom trees
3
Miss Butterfly's her name
4
A sweet little innocent child was she
5
'Till a fine young American from the sea
6
To her garden came
7
They met 'neath the cherry blossoms everyday
8
And he taught her how to love the American way
9
To love with her soul t'was easy to learn
10
Then he sailed away with a promise to return
11
Poor butterfly
12
'Neath the blossoms waiting
13
Poor Butterfly
14
For she loved him so
15
The moments pass into hours
16
The hours pass into years
17
And as she smiles through her tears
18
She murmurs low
19
The moon and I know that he'll be faithful
20
I'm sure he'll come to me by and by
21
But if he won't come back, then I'll never sigh or cry
22
I just must die
23
