Lyrics
- I found her alone
On the Great White Way
Just a lonesome Butterfly
Tho’ she tried hard to smile
I could see all the while
There were tears in her big blue eyes
Refrain
Won’t you smile once again Butterfly?
Let your troubles and cares flutter by
They say you are frivolous, gay and bold
Still with it all you’ve a heart of gold
All the sunshine that’s up in the sky
Will be shining for you bye and bye
Tho’ you’ve played with the flame
You’ll be welcome again
To the ones that you love, lonesome butterfly
- The days may grow weary
The nights grow long
And the fires of love may chill
But wherever you roam
There is someone at home
Who remembers and loves you still
