Pictures of Lily lyrics

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

But me and Lily are together in my dreams

And I ask ya, "Hey mister have you ever seen

Pictures of Lily?"
