He closes his eyes

And loses his sight

Fingers the writings

That bring her delight

And he knows that he'll see her

But scared that it's soon

Thinking of her when the lillies bloom

The first glimpse of spring

Brought the last winter snow

Falling from te sky

To the frozen ground below

A prayer said in the morning

Could help him get through

Thinking of her when the lillies

{Turn into colors of bright yellow blossoms

All nestled in green

He tends to his garden to keep her alive

With a handful of seeds

THen he'll wait for her, wait for her, wait}

Frail and weathered

Down by the lake

Worship blue colored beads

All for God's sake

"For the last time this evening,

To the heart I'll be true"

Thinking of her when the lillies

{chorus} . . .
