I used to wake up in the morning

I used to feel so bad

I got so sick of having sleepless nights

I went and told my dad



He said, "Son now here's some little something"

And stuck them on my wall

And now my nights ain't quite so lonely

In fact I, I don't feel bad at all



Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful

Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems

Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright



Pictures of Lily

Lily, oh Lily

Lily, oh Lily

Pictures of Lily



And then one day things weren't quite so fine

I fell in love with Lily

I asked my dad where Lily I could find

He said, "Son, now don't be silly"



"She's been dead since 1929"

Oh, how I cried that night

If only I'd been born in Lily's time

It would have been alright



Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful

Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night



For me and Lily are together in my dreams

And I ask you, "Hey mister, have you ever seen"

"Pictures of Lily?"
