play that song, Jim

Play that song again, Jim.
Play me that old sad song,
Keep it real low, and just for me.
Just once, for it's been so long.

The one about that girl,
Running out in the night.
The one they call Lily,
And had always been a sight.

Play that song, Jim,
It goes like this,

O' where have you gone, Lily,
so late into the night?
I thought I saw a man -
in terror, in fright.

That one Jim, yeah that old sad song.
Remind me of those days -
Just once and nevermore.
Oh, it's been so long, let my heart ache and sore.

Where o where, had Lily gone.
So quickly into the night.
Where o where, into the night,
Had my Lily gone?

It plays at my heart, Jim.
I can hear the strings,
Lily is dancing, under that pale moonlight,
In the springs.

Oh where, oh where,
Did you run off to, Lily?

Off I ran, into the night
Away from you,
away from my plight.

O, Lily.

Don't play that song, Jim.
I'm sorry I asked.
Just once and nevermore.
My heart aches, and forever sore.
