Dear Lily,

Lily, dearest, look out at the flowers
As they smile, as they sing to you this hour
Lily, darling, look up in the sky
Oh, the birds, Lily, watch them fly

And you say, could God really think of me?
There are much more beautiful things
And you say, could God really know of me?
Dear Lily, listen up

He's mindful of the birds, he's mindful of the daisies
But when he looks at you, dear Lily, you drive him crazy
The birds, the flowers, I'm sure they make him grin
But dear Lily, you're much more precious than all of them

Dearest Lily, I know you're growing up
And in this world, I know the times sometimes get tough
And when the birds are nowhere to be found
And when you can't see a flower in the ground

Just know when you feel all alone
His arms are open to welcome you home
When you feel like you have no worth
Dear Lily, remember his words

I'm mindful of the birds, I'm mindful of the daisies
But when you look at me, dear Lily, you drive me crazy
The birds, the flowers, I grin and this is true
But you should see me smile, my girl, every time that I see you

Cause you're the apple of my eye, even when you think you shouldn't be
Oh Lily, I would rather die than live without you

Dear Lily, I hope I've made this clear
And there is never a doubt in your mind

But if there is, I'll be right here
To remind you every time, dear Lily, oh dear Lily
