Rice Drewry: Music

She brings me flowers every day
Visits for hours beside my grave
Tears falling softly she quietly weeps
Prays for me nightly my soul to keep

Lilly of the garden, innocent and true
Lilly of the garden, wish I could be with you

Victim of circumstance, not what she planned
She was my woman and I was her man
She tried on her white veil, but waited in vain
I fell asleep at the wheel and God called my name

Lilly of the garden, innocent and true
Lilly of the garden, wish I could be with you

Bridge
Young life changed forever by tragedy,
My spirit watches over her faithfully, keeping her strong
it’s time to move on

Lilly of the garden, innocent and true
Lilly of the garden, wish I could be with you
Lilly of the garden, young and strong
Lilly of the garden, time to move on


Who will gather flowers growing in the garden?
