Lilly of the Day
Lily of the Day

Lily of the day
Like the sunlight fades away I can offer you my love
But you’ll be leaving anyway
And in my heart it just seems wrong
But come the morning you’ll be gone

Lily of the day
Beautiful but you can’t stay Seems so cruel and so unkind And a price too high to pay Good things only come to pass And the best things never last

Lily of my eye
The sun is straight up in the sky It’s the love you need to grow And it’s jealous of your smile Let us love and drink it in
Before today comes to an end

Lily young and fair Dancing in the morning air It’s a lifetime in a day
But somehow you don’t seem to care Listen to the nightbird cry
A sad foretelling of goodbye
