Lyrics
Holly Would
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She loved rings & string
Like music rite of spring
She'd often choose it
She spoke like greetings soaked in time
Her autumn-colored hair was fine
She wore cottons quite a lot
She loved dark tea & coffee pot
She lived with a dog & cat
Forever yours & after that
CHORUS:
I remember that to Holly everyone was good
No one has ever loved the way Holly could
She never cared about herself the way she should
No one will ever treat you like Holly would
She collected dolls up-dressed
& always spoke of her friend Yasmine
She was fond of poetry
Durelvion Cummings, E.E.
She loved riding in a train
& "catch me" was her favorite game
She loved the yard, Bernard & Clay
She only ate one meal a day
