lyrics

Lily oh Lily
Forgive me I"m really
Not usually so far above
Lily oh Lily
Forgive me I'm silly in love

Everything I recall
Started in sterile halls
Just a bit later than planned
Despite all the crying
I swear I'm not lying
Your coming out party was grand

Slightly hypnotic
Though monosyllabic
Your words are what I'm dreaming of
Lily oh Lily
Forgive me I'm silly in love

And she's fine at night
With the twinkling stars
And the glow-worms
Afire

Lily oh Lily
Forgive me I"m really
Not usually so far above
Lily oh Lily
Forgive me I'm silly in love
