Madame Butterfly

Went to the opera house, someone sang to me
 Just a few crowns it cost, some might call it free.
 I did not know how sad, I did not know how sad.
 I did not know how sad it would be.
 Sat alone in a private box all draped in red
 Though I did not understand a single word they said
 The music it surrounded me, it filled my head
 yes, the music filled my head.
 Don't cry, madame, madame butterfly,
 it's not too late, too late to learn to fly.
 Don't cry, madame, madame butterfly,
 you're much to young, too young, too young to die.
 Then came the letter, he would embark
 Her flame did flicker now, her soul did spark
 Oh, but just then, her world grew dark
 Oh, how her world grew dark
 Maybe it was loneliness that took her life away
 Or maybe 'cause the sky showed only shades of black and grey
 Oh, but yes there is this one thing that I'd like to again say
 Yes, I would like to say
 Goodbye madame, madame butterfly,
