Lyrics
Oh, Lillian, sweet Lillian
You?re so sweet to me
makes me feel like I?m really someone
just to know you
really know you
Lillian, oh, Lillian
you bring a smile to me
makes it easy for me to be happy
for the world to see
the world sees me
I learned from you
what not to do
like look in my past at my hardships
without even tryin?
you?ve taught me
to gaze at the high side
of life?s peaks and dips
(break)
Whoa, Lillian, darlin? Lillian
you always assure me
makes me feel like I?m a better man
Because of you
because of you.
