Acoustic Junction - Madame Butterfly lyrics

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 bu*terfly, it's not too late, too late to learn to fly. Don't cry, madame, madame bu*terfly, 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 bu*terfly,
