[Verse]
We were kids in the green by the river bend
Mud on our shoes and dreams that never end
Now I stand alone with echoes in my head
Lilly in my heart
A love left unsaid
[Verse 2]
Saw you bloom like a rose in summer's dusk
But fears chained my words
Heart turned to rust
You laughed with the breeze
But I stayed quiet
Loving you
Lilly
Was a secret riot
[Chorus]
Oh Lilly
Lilly
Why couldn't I be bold
To share the dreams my trembling heart holds
You found your way
And oh how it stings
Now I sing alone of what love brings
[Verse 3]
Now the leaves have turned and the rivers dry
Your laughter's gone
No more butterflies
You found someone who could be brave and true
And all that's left are dreams where I have you
[Chorus]
Oh Lilly
Lilly
Why couldn't I be bold
To share the dreams my trembling heart holds
You found your way
And oh how it stings
Now I sing alone of what love brings
[Bridge]
Late night drives
Our shadows in the rain
Your eyes like fire
But I couldn't bear the pain
Kept my love a ghost
Haunting me still
Lilly
You were the wish I couldn't fulfill
