Presenting Lily Mars
|
Tap dancer, a soon-to-be star
|
She'll beat your heart so fast
|
Spotlight's on Lily tonight
|
|
She's on Channel One's late-night show
|
She's watching people come and go
|
Producer says "You've got it made, girl"
|
And when she's lying sleepless in his arms
|
The frost paints roses on poor Lily's window pane
|
|
Presenting Lily's mum
|
She still lives on in Lily's mind
|
Stopped ageing years ago
|
Now she's gone, but left her dreams in Lily's eyes
|
Lily's wondering if mummy's watching her tonight
|
|
|
"Good morning!" says father Mars
|
Presenting a salesman's cheerful face
|
His mouth is never shut!
|
As he strides from door to door to door
|
Watch his face as he puts his foot in my door
|
|
Presenting Lily Mars
|
She's sensing moons and stars
|
The pills that Doc subscribed
|
Will keep the sleepless, dreamless nights away
|
Oh poor Lily, now you're sleeping day by day
|
By day by day by day by day
|
Bye, bye
|
