Correct this lyric

Harlem butterfly
The moon got in your eye
The night you were born

Harlem butterfly
You listened to the cry
Of some lonely horn

That combination
Left you a mark
That you’ll never, never lose

While you chase some will o’ the wisp
In the dark
Your heart keeps singing the blues

Harlem butterfly
The writing’s in the sky
You’ll come to no good

But I’m not blaming you
I’m certain I would do
The same if I could

Even though a candle
Burned at both ends
Can never last out the night

Harlem butterfly
It really gives a lovely light

Instrumental Interlude

Harlem butterfly
It really gives a lovely light
