Lying on the grass with you
Looking at the summer skies
Back then I was nothing but a child
Oh I miss your green eyes
Oh I lost my grip on you
He took you away from me
Until now you are the only thing I see
But it was never meant to be
He says... Lily, you always meant the world to me
Wish your eyes were the last thing I see
But you were never mine
And even after all this time
It is you, always you
Watching him to see him grow
He's reminding me of you
But I can't deny: He is his father's son
Oh if you only knew
Holding you inside my arms
Knowing nothing brings you back
Promised I'd protect him from all harm
What a man he has become
He says... Lily, you always meant the world to me
Wish your eyes were the last thing I see
But you were never mine
And even after all this time
It is you, always you
Lying on the grass with you
Looking at the summer skies
And even after all this time
I'll always miss your green eyes
