MY LILY
I must sing you a song,
Or my heart will break,
For all the night long
I lie awake,
And all the day through
I am sorry like you
For nobody's sake,
For nobody's sake,
My lily, my lily
You and I,
My lily, sad lily!
Or my heart will break,
For all the night long
I lie awake,
And all the day through
I am sorry like you
For nobody's sake,
For nobody's sake,
My lily, my lily
You and I,
My lily, sad lily!
Since the day has the sun,
And the night the moon,
Though love we have none,
How soon, how soon
Our hearts may awake
For somebody's sake,
And our lives be in tune,
Our lives be in tune,
My lily, my lily
You and I,
My lily, sweet lily!
And the night the moon,
Though love we have none,
How soon, how soon
115
For somebody's sake,
And our lives be in tune,
Our lives be in tune,
My lily, my lily
You and I,
My lily, sweet lily!
