Oh dear what memories - suddenly I´m a teenager again in Salisbury listening to this on my supersonic radio in my bedroom! Where have all those years flown to? Thanks for such lovely moments of pure nostalgia!

Does anyone know of a version of this song which sounds like it has a Female Choir from africa singing? That is the version i remember and it would be sooooooooooooooooo nice to hear it again!

Awesome song! MACJO63 - where do you live...? I was just in Bakersfield! Sherman Oaks here!

[MACJO63]

I love this song, the first time I heard it I was on the road from Bakersfield to Fresno. No one on the road but me and this song. And the poster below is correct, it is so beautiful in French.......What great memories with this song..:)

This is an excellent find! I had no idea this English version existed. I have the other English version on MP3, have had it for years and never knew there was a different one. Wow.... thanks so much for posting this.

Oh ! You must hear this song in french ! It's so beautiful in french. <3 Tu me dis loin des yeux, loin du coeur, Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur, Malgrès les horizons, Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore cette fille que j'avais sunomée... Butterfly, My Butterlfy, Dans un moins je reviendrais. Butterfly, My Butterfly, Près de toi je resterais
