They called her Butterscotch. She came into my life one spring.

      C                              G                      D

We fell in love on a sunny April day.

     C                                     G                             C                             G

The summer we spent together, through fair and stormy weather,

       C                          G                            D                           C   G

But in the fall she said she had to go, she had to go.
 

         C                                   G                         C                          G

And over and over and over again, I told her that I love her.

  C                                   G                         D

Butterscotch, how could you go away?

         C                                   G                         C                          G

And over and over and over again, I told her that I need her.

   C                       G                            D                C    G

Butterscotch, how can I live without - you?

I begged her to stay and not go away, I said it would break my heart,

And I just wouldn’t be able to go on.

But she told me time would heal the hurt, and on a sunny day in May,

I’d look around and find another true love, another true love.

Chorus

And sure enough time healed my heart, and let me love again.

A pretty girl I met on a moonlit night.

But once in a while I think of Butterscotch, and wonder where she is,

And think of the love we shared that summer long,

                That summer long.

Chorus

    C            G        C              G         C                G

Without you, Without you, My Butterscotch,

 C                    G           C                   G

My Butterscotch, My Butterscotch.
