Pete Townshend Pictures of Lily lyrics

I used to wake up in the morning
I always feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad

He said, "Son, now here's some little something"
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all, I don't feel bad at all

There always was a
Pictures of Lily, that they made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily, they let me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily, they solved my childhood problem
Pictures of Lily, they make me feel alright

Pictures of Lily, pictures of Lily
Pictures of Lily, Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily, Lily, oh Lily

Pictures of Lily, pictures of Lily
Pictures of Lily, pictures of Lily

Pictures of Lily, pictures of Lily

And then one day, things weren't so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad, where Lily I could find?
He said, "Don't be silly"

"She's been dead since 1929"
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright

But there were always
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily to help me feel alright
'Cause me and Lily are together in my dreams
Hey, I was wondering mister, have you ever seen
Pictures of Lily?
