Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I am not brilliant enough to own Harry Potter. The song I would Give My Life For You is from Miss Saigon.
Author's Note: Here we go again, me and my crazy songfics! I actually posted this a long time ago, but I decided the format needed fixing and other stuff like that.
I Would Give My Life For You
You who I cradle in my arms, you.
Lily looked down at the little child in her arms and smiled. This was the gift of a lifetime. The gift of being a mother. She smiled and placed little Harry back in his crib.
Asking as little as you can.
She watched her son as he slept peacefully. Tired from a day of work, she sat down next to the crib as James entered the room.
Little snip of a little man.
"I swear he looks like you James." Lily whispered, smiling.
"But he has your eyes."
I swear I'd give my life for you.
"I love him James. I love him more than anything on this earth." Lily confided. Her husband noted her worried tone.
"He will not find us. How can he? We are perfectly safe."
"We are not 'perfectly safe' James! I don't trust him. He has anxious eyes."
"Lily, Peter has been a friend of mine since first year. He is more than trustworthy."
You didn't ask me to be born, you.
"I wish that we would not have to worry about this." Lily said crossly. "I wish that we could raise Harry, far away from here."
"I know, I know. As do I. But we've got to make the best of things."
Why should you learn of war or pain?
"I do not want him getting hurt James. I do not want him to die."
"Lily, he cannot reach us here. He cannot. It's impossible."
To ensure your not hurt again, I swear I'll give my life for you.
Lily and James watched over the child as he slept.
"I will die for you my son. "
You can be who you want to be, you.
After James left, Lily picked up Harry once more.
"You will be a great wizard my son. A great wizard and a great son."
You'll have whatever Heaven grants.
Lily rocked her son back and forth.
"We will send you to Hogwarts, and look after you, and spoil you, and do everything parents are supposed to do with their kids."
As long as you can have your choice, I will give my life for you.
"I love you so much, my son. I hope that you will learn that."
You will be who you want to be, you.
"Lily! He's found us!"
You'll have whatever Heaven grants.
"Lily, take the child and run!"
As long as you can have your chance, I swear I'll give my life for you.
"Well, well Lily, I have found you at last. You realize this is it, don't you? This is the end. For you and your son."
"Maybe for me, but not for him."
No one can stop what I must do. I swear I'll give my life for you.
