I told a girl I loved her on the first day that I met her
Even though she lived real far away
I took her out to dinner and every time I kissed her
I found another reason I could stay

It was a holiday romance, a festival girlfriend
A ninja sushi dance to Timbuktu
Butterflies only live for a day
That's exactly what our love will do

Because I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm dancing tonight
And I want you dancing by my side
Tomorrow's too early, today is too late
We cross that bridge when we come to it

We drove out to the river where nobody could see us
A place that we could hide from prying eyes
I loved everything about her even though I had just met her
And tomorrow I would have to say goodbye

It's a fast roller-coaster, I know I'm gonna miss her
I only hope she's gonna miss me too
Butterflies only live for a day
That's exactly what our love will do

Because I'm leaving tomorrow, but I'm dancing tonight
And I want you dancing by my side
Tomorrow's too early, today is too late
We cross that bridge when we come to it
