Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her

Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her

From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come
Who has her eyes

She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl
And miss those hazel eyes?

She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?

In Lily's eyes a castle
This house seemed to be
And I, the bravest knight became
My lady fair was she

She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed to hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes

Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God have let her stay
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago
(Those eyes that first I loved so)
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be in love
Be alive and whole
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
