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
It would have been alright

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

A          C#m/Ab     F#m    A     D  C#m B  E
For me and Lily are together in my dreams

A     C#m/Ab        F#m              A    D
And I ask you, hey, mister, have you ever seen
