Lily's Eyes

Strangely quiet, but now the stormSimply rests to strike againStanding, waiting, I think of herI think of herStrange, this Mary, she leaves the roomYet remains, she lingers onSomething stirs me to think of herI think of herFrom death she casts her spellAll night we hear her sighsAnd now a girl has comeWho has her eyesShe has her eyesThe girl has Lily's hazel eyesThose eyes that saw him happy long agoThose eyes that gave him lifeAnd hope he'd never knownHow can he see the girlAnd miss those hazel eyes?She has her eyesThe girl has Lily's hazel eyesThose eyes that closed and left me all aloneThose eyes I feel will never ever let me goHow can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?In Lily's eyes a castleThis house seemed to beAnd I, the bravest knight becameMy lady fair was sheShe has her eyesShe has my Lily's hazel eyesThose eyes that loved my brother never meThose eyes that never saw meNever knew I longed to hold her closeTo live at last in Lily's eyesImagine me, a loverI longed for the dayShe'd turn and see me standing thereWould God have let her stayShe has her eyesShe has my Lily's hazel eyesThose eyes that saw me happy long ago(Those eyes that first I loved so)How can I now forgetThat once I dared to be in loveBe alive and wholeIn Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
