broken love with little words

[– just to suggest an atmosphere]

You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay

You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that’s impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay

[refrain]
Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing...
