Goodbye Mother Dear
Though I never knew you at all
You had the love to save my life
When it meant giving your own.
Crawled out of the Muggles
And they whispered in your brain
Sent you off to Hogwarts
Where you met your life's love James
And it seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never thought about yourself when the evil walked right in
I wish I could have known you when I was a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Your life at school was tough
The toughest when you hid away
And Voldemort found you
And death was the price you paid
Even when you died
They didn't think of you
The Daily Prophet told of my tale
And my youth
And it seems to me, you lived you life like a candle in the wind
Never thought about yourself when the evil walked right in
I wish I could have known you when I was a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Goodbye Mother Dear
Though I never knew you at all
You had the love to save my life
When it meant giving your own
Goodbye Mother Dear
I'm closer now than I ever was
To see you as something more than close to me
Or as just Lily Potter because
It seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never thought about yourself when the evil walked right in
I would have liked to have known you when I was a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
