I used to wake up
in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of
having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, "Son now
here's some
little something"
And stuck them
on my wall...
And now my nights
ain't quite so lonely
in fact I
I don't feel bad at all...
I don't feel bad at all...
Pictures of Lily
made my life
so wonderful
Pictures of Lily
helped me
sleep at night....
Pictures of Lily
solved my childhood
problems
Pictures of Lily
helped me
feel alright...
Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily
And then one day
things weren't
quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where
Lily I could find
He said
"Son, now
don't be silly"
"She's been dead
since 1929"
Oh, how I cried
that night
If only I'd been born
in Lily's time
it would have
been alright
Pictures of Lily
made my life
so wonderful
Pictures of Lily
helped me
sleep at night....
For me and Lily
are together
in my dreams...
And I ask you
"Hey mister
have you ever seen
Pictures of Lily?"
