I used to wake up in the morning 
I used to feel so bad 
I got so sick of having sleepless nights 
I went and told my dad 
He said, "Son now here's some little something" 
And stuck them on my wall 
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely 
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all 
  
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful 
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night 
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems 
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright 
 
Pictures of Lily 
Lily, oh Lily 
Lily, oh Lily 
Pictures of Lily 
  
And 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 
 
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful 
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night 
For me and Lily are together in my dreams 
And I ask you, "Hey mister, have you ever seen" 
"Pictures of Lily?"
