Snape:
I see you there
Wind blows your hair
As you swing
And I'm ten years old
And you're beautiful
As you swing
Lily:
You tell me I'm
A witch and I fly
Off the swing
My sister's scared
But I am prepared
To try to make magic
With you
My magical childhood friend
Somebody that I can depend on
To help me
Depend on to hold me
And I
Think I would die
Without you
Snape:
I see you there
Green eyes, auburn hair
At Hogwarts
I'm fifteen years old
And you're beautiful
At Hogwarts
Lily:
Nobody likes you
But I will stay true
At Hogwarts
James taunts and jeers
But I keep you near
And try to make magic
Both
With you
My magical childhood friend
Somebody that I can depend on
To help me
Depend on to hold me
And I think I would
Snape:
Die
Without you
I'm sorry!
Lily:
Save your breath!
Snape:
I didn't mean to call you
Mudblood
Lily:
You didn't mean to call me mudblood
Snape:
It just sort of
Slipped out
Lily:
Didn't it? Well Severus get out!
Snape:
You don't mean that!
Lily:
Don't I?
I've made excuses for you for years!
But now I know you've made your choice.
And you have chosen evil.
"You just can't wait to join You-Know-Who, can you?"
Snape:
I'm all alone
Cannot atone
For all I've done
So I
Serve You-Know-Who
Evil through and through
Can't be undone
I'm twenty years old
And you're beautiful
Though you're not here
This prophecy
Predicts that he
Will kill you, James, and Harry
He couldn't keep you safe, though
Dumbledore
Couldn't keep you safe so
You were killed
And I vowed I'd keep your son from harm
Working as a spy for
Dumbledore
Working as a spy for
Sixteen years
Wish that I had died then
In your stead
And then one day I finally I learned the truth
Everything I'd done for you-for Harry
Had been done for naught
As hard I tried
Harry had to die
Always
And I'm thirty-eight years old
And you're beautiful
Always
Always her
My magical childhood friend
Somebody that she could depend on
To help her
Depend on to hold her
And I
Know I will die
Without her
And I will love her
Always
