The Lily
Music and lyrics by SARA THOMSEN

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Vase of flowers in the hall
Lily looking back, I see
I am you and you are me

In the spring she rakes away
The fallen leaves of yesterday
Memories of ice and snow
And clears a way for you to grow

Lily, lily you are fair
In the winter you are there
Hidden deep, where I cannot see
Sound asleep in mystery

She gathers all the colors in
Arranging each one, stem by stem
On the table in the hall
By the mirror on the wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Vase of flowers in the hall
Iris, rose, and peony
I am you and you are me

When your petals fall away
Autumn leaves blow through the day
Singing bird return to me
When I am lost and cannot see

How in the spring she rakes away
The fallen leaves of yesterday
Memories of ice and snow
And clears a way for you to grow

Lily, lily you are fair
In the winter you are there
Hidden deep, where I cannot see
Sound asleep in mystery

See the birds all in the air!
Look! The lily blooming there
Robin singing in the tree
I am you and you are me

Lily, lily you are fair
In the winter you are there
Hidden deep, where I cannot see
Sound asleep in mystery

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Vase of flowers in the hall
Lily looking back, I see
I am you and you are me

Lily looking back, I see
I am you and you are me
