Won't You Watch Her Lilies Grow

Won't you watch her lilies grow
Won't you watch her lilies grow
Oh, she planted them in spring
Oh, Lord, then she left me low

I once held her in my arms
I once held her in my heart
I don't hold nothing any more
Now that my love and I am far apart

Now all I have is the shadow of a daydream
But her hair, it was long and fine
Well, I guess I should have known from the start
That that girl wouldn't always be mine

Won't you watch her lilies grow
Won't you watch her lilies grow
Oh, she planted them in spring
Oh, Lord, then she left me low

Where she's gone, I don't know
Can't even say for sure what it is that made her go
Well, I just hope that she is happy
Cos, ooh, it hurt me so

And these flowers are a cold reminder
When winter comes, Lord knows, they're gonna die
Dead flowers and memories, oh boy
What a poor fool am I

Won't you watch her lilies grow
Won't you watch her lilies grow
Oh, she planted them in spring
Oh, Lord, then she left me low

Oh, she planted them in spring
Oh, Lord, then she left me low
