There was a tiger lily in her hair  The day I saw her standing there  Her lips to mine tore me apart  She lost her breath, I lost my heart    There was a tiger lily in her bouquet  The one she held our wedding day  That sacred kiss, it meant the start  Of life together till death do us part    I placed a tiger lily upon her grave  There are some things love cannot save  I don’t think I cried, I think I smiled  She was buried with her unborn child    Now when I lay me down to sleep  I pray for the lord my soul to keep  I hear her voice, I smell her hair  I see her face everywhere    Through my sleepless nights I’m trying  To keep my sanity from dying    Someone sent me a tiger lily today  From whom there was no card to say  It was sent to prison where I’m serving time  For killing my love, who’s child was not mine    these lyrics are submitted by CHG
