Lyrics
Lillie May
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.
It was the second day of summer, and life was good,
And I was young and I was free and far away,
And I was with my one-and-only, come what may,
And I was only like a child who ran away,
But I was innocent and holy, Lillie may, Lillie may.
All the birds, fly away.
(chorus)
All the dreams, all the dreams fly away Lillie may
Fly away Lillie may.
All the dreams, all the dreams fly away Lillie may
Fly away Lillie may.
It was the second day of winter, and life was bad,
And I was old and I was feeble anyway,
And I was only like an old man; had his day
And I was all alone and lonely, come what may,
But I was innocent and holy, Lillie may, Lillie may,
All the birds fly away.
(chorus)
And I was young and I was free and far away
And I was with my one-and-only, come what may,
And I was only like a child who ran away
But I was innocent and holy Lillie may, Lillie may,
All the birds fly away.
(chorus)
