lyrics

Little Lilly was the only one to sing at her piano recital
I nearly went to stop her, but then I had stop myself

She looked free as a bird
I was so proud of her

Little Lilly was the only one to sing at her piano recital
I don’t know if it was planned or she just couldn’t stop herself

Little Lilly was the only one to dance at her Grandfathers funeral
When we asked her why she did, she said it used to make him smile

She looked free as a bird
Like an angel on earth

Little Lilly was the only one to sing at her piano recital
I didn’t know if it was planned or she just couldn’t stop herself

To make other people happy is her only concern
I’m supposed to be teaching her everything
But with her I still learn

Little Lilly was the only one to sing at her piano recital
Little Lilly was the only one to dance at her Grandfathers funeral
I nearly went to stop her, but then I had to stop myself

Cause she’s up in the sky
And I’m on the ground
She’s the person I’d be if there was no one around
She knows how to fly
Just by making a sound
I hope that she never changes
Never change her now
