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?"
