LYRICS:

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly – stay

One day she passed him by
A twinkle in her eye
He said “she was meant for me!”
But when he turned around
He lost what he had found
Oh where can his Lilly be?

He searched the city streets
He tempted her with treats
But nobody stopped to taste them
Some are in his pocket
Some are in a locket
(He couldn’t bring himself to waste them)

Ever since she’s gone
Some days he can’t go on
She ruined him for another
Pressed up against the glass
He prays that she will pass
(Now he’s living with his mother)

Todo es perfección en esta orquesta. ¡Qué maravilla de voz! ¡Impresionante la maestría de cada miembro de la orquesta!.. La explosión y sincronización de Conjunto...Un lujo poder escuchar sus interpretaciones. Ignoraba que pudieran existir tan cualificados artistas sintonizados en la cumbre del Arte por el Destino de la Armonía Divina.
