Someone just yesterday morning Walked up to me and they said Sing me a song about roses And I’ll be your friend for life. So I softly whispered, my darling Close your eyes for awhile Nobody loves of a lover Til they feel the thorns of a rose. [Chorus:] High, high Lily, Lily love me tonight Take the love from me Lily, And love me tonight Love me tonight Good times they last for a moment The bad seem to stay quite awhile But loving my life with a lady And living my love for her
