Won't You Watch Her Lilies Grow

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Oh she planted them in spring

Oh Lord and then she left me alone

I once held her in my arms

I once held her in my heart

I don't hold nothing anymore

Now that my love and I are far apart

Now all I have is the shadow of a daydream

But her hair it was long and fine

Well I guess I should have known from the start

That that girl wouldn't always be mine

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Oh she planted them in spring

Oh Lord and then she left me alone

Where she's gone I don't know

I can't even say for sure what it is that made her go

Well I just hope that she is happy

Cause ooh it hurt me so

And these flowers are a cold reminder

When winter comes Lord knows they're gonna die

Dead flowers and memories

Oh Lord what a poor fool am I

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Won't you watch her lilies grow

Oh she planted them in spring

Oh Lord and then she left me alone

Oh she planted them in spring

Oh Lord and then she left me alone
