The Life of Lilly Lyrics

Lilly loved her rocking horse
Until she learnt to sing,
And people??d say, ??Your lass, she play,
She??s such a pretty thing??
And she??s all of the time in the world.
Lilly loved her brother so,
They start to face it all,
Standing high to touch the sky,
But yet just three feet tall,
And they had all the love in the world.
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
Her stars and there??s a light and burning bright,
But then tonight,
I??m feeling older now.
(Instrumental)
Lilly she??d look over land
She??d like to make her home,
It??s there she had a loving man,
Never to be alone,
And she had all the love in the world,
And Lilly??s so much older then,
With nothing left to fear,
Until one day she dared to say,
??Listen all you near,
For I have all the time in the world??
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
Her stars and there??s a light and burning bright,
But then tonight,
I??m feeling older now.
Lilly she her baby rocked
So silently to sleep,
Carefully she laid alone
And dared to slumber deep,
And she held all the love in the world,
But Lilly wasn??t long for the world.
