LILIES

Little things that made her laugh, ways that she came to me 
Lilies by her photograph, beauty beyond beauty 
Poems on her pillowcase, smiles to bring the dawn in 
Pain etched deep within her face, the sorrow, now I mourn

Kindness to all living things, mercy for the broken
Dahlias before diamond rings, love of life unspoken 
Lazy walks down mazy lanes, all our leaves were falling
Hazy thoughts, love-crazy brains, memories I recall

That love, that love, stronger than the sun 
That love, that love, a love for only one, 
My love for you just goes on and on
That love is still this love. 

Now my mind's in reverie, here comes our song again 
Fire in your eyes for me, feel the passion heal the pain
Heart by heart, and soul by soul you took my rhythm from me 
Traded for my stride you stole you burned your love print on me. 

That love for me, stronger than the sun 
That love for me, love for only one 
My love for you just goes on and on
That love will always be this love.
