Who Knew
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Lily and James sat down by their fireplace, their hands entwined and their heads leant together. They had all they could desire, a house, great jobs, and little baby Harry. Lily and James were the happiest people on the planet and everyone knew it.
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
Lily and James married almost straight after Hogwarts, they couldn't believe how excited they were to be married and living in a beautiful house and to live by their marriage vows of everlasting love.
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Lily and James didn't know that death was on their doorstep and they whispered, "I love you." To each other, looking deep into each others eyes.
James fell first and Lily couldn't bear it she could feel her self standing there at the altar at seventeen. She would have given anything to see James sit up and say, "Just joking!" with a cheesy smile on his face. But Lily couldn't bear the pain as she heard the cold chilling laughter of her husbands murderer.
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
She could see the graduation picture of five friends in her mind, James and her holding hands, and in love, Remus standing straight a tall, his arm wrapped around his encyclopedia, and Cate having a piggyback on Sirius and ruffling his hair and Sirius trying to bite her playfully.
When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Lily had seen her share of blessings; it was time to leave Harry with her last one. Her best friend was right: "Save the best for last, even if you don't the best will be there when you need it Lils." She kissed Harry goodbye, "Your daddy and I love you very much Harry, and you know that."
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
"We'll meet again, someday Harry, I hope that day is not to soon." Lily whispered as the door burst open, she faced the world last time.
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
