Lätt som en sommarfjäril (Andersson/Ulvaeus)
*Light as a butterfly
Was the first of his kisses
And yet the fire was lit,
where no fire was before.

Light as a butterfly
Lips against my neck
But what did I know about love
I knew nothing at all.

Over the house in town, an enlightened flame
When we lay and kissed again.
And his hands underneath my white blouse
found their way and completed the trip.

Yes, I still feel the warmth
from the one who was recently there.
As light as a butterfly
his very first kiss.

Destiny's cold hand takes a grip sometimes
and a human is crushed to death.
And another stands by the abyss of despair
with a hopeless wound in the soul.

I still feel the warmth
from the one who was recently there.
As light as a butterfly
his very first kiss.

"Lätt som en sommarfjäril"
Lätt som en sommarfjäril
så var hans första kyss
Och ändå så tändes elden

som inte brann där nyss

Lätt som en sommarfjäril
Läppar emot min hals
Men vad visste jag om kärlek
Jag visste inget alls

Över stadens hus, ett förklarat ljus
när vi log och kystes igen
Och hans händer under min vita blus
fann sin väg och fullföljde den

Ja, jag känner ännu värmen
från den som fanns här nyss
Så lätt som en sommarfjäril
Hans allra första kyss

Ödets kalla hand tar sitt grepp ibland
och en mänska kramas ihjäl
Och en annan står vid förtvivlans rand
med ett hopplöst sår i sin själ

Jag känner ännu värmen
från den som fanns här nyss
Så lätt som en sommarfjäril
Hans allra första kyss
(Andersson/Ulvaeus)

So wonderful, beautiful song, pictures and woman.

Thanks

Glad you think so too! I think it one of B&B's best of the later years

[jes941]

Very nice song Shay. That should give Benny his due. Poor guy always seemed to take a back seat to the other 3.

[2Shaymcn]

If you wanted someone to come up with a decent tune, no better man than Benny!

[peterwdeng]

A beautiful song with a lullaby quality. Nice.
