C G
Lilly loved her rocking horse
D
Until she learnt to sing,
C G
And people’d say, “Your lass, she play,
D
She’s such a pretty thing”
C D C
And she’s all of the time in the world.
C G
Lilly loved her brother so,
D
They start to face it all,
C G
Standing high to touch the sky,
D
But yet just three feet tall,
C D C
And they had all the love in the world.
C G D
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
C G D
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
C G D
Her stars and there’s a light and burning bright,
C
But then tonight,
Am D C
I’m feeling older now.
(Instrumental)

C G
Lilly she’d look over land
D
She’d like to make her home,
C G
It’s there she had a loving man,
D
Never to be alone,
C D C
And she had all the love in the world,
C G
And Lilly’s so much older then,
D
With nothing left to fear,
C G
Until one day she dared to say,
D
“Listen all you near,
C D C
For I have all the time in the world”
C G D
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
C G D
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
C G D
Her stars and there’s a light and burning bright,
C
But then tonight,
Am D C
I’m feeling older now.
C G
Lilly she her baby rocked
D
So silently to sleep,
C G
Carefully she laid alone
D
And dared to slumber deep,
C D C
And she held all the love in the world,
C D C
But Lilly wasn’t long for the world.
