Precious Lily dressed in white, but lavender silk was her delight
Too young a child, gone too soon
Her daddy always was a mess, only liquor on his breath
But Lily never questioned why before he took her life
Mother died at Lily's birth, whispering her very last words
"You'll do just fine, I know"
But through the years he became lost, and beating lily was the cost
And now she's gone in to the heavens taken too soon
Lavender Lily, Lavender Lily
Because of the choice, made by one man
Lavender Lily, was taken too soon... gone too soon...
