A beautifully simple song, expressing the sadness of attending
more funerals as we all get older, and losing more friends and family.
I d love to hear Tom Waits do a cover of this!

[Verse 1]
White lilies re - mind me... of those who had to go,
We... learn so late... that time won t wait, and love is all we know!
[Verse 2]
White lilies seem to find me, more and more these days,
He seems to have... his daddy s eyes, something always stays!
[Verse 3]
Gods and angels, we create them, I used to wonder why,
Now I see more... why we make them, every time I say good - bye!
[Verse 4]
White lilies, so lovely-----, but you make me sigh,
See,...life goes on... when we are gone, white lilies... tell me why!
