"Lily's Eyes"
(Normal text = Snape, italics = James)
Strangely quiet, the dormitory's dark – it's night again
Lying awake, I think of her, I think of her
Strange, this Lily, I know she hates me but I just can't let go
Something stirs me to think of her, I think of her
In class she casts her spell, her presence makes me sigh,
And how could you ever miss those eyes?
Those lovely eyes, I speak of Lily's bright green eyes
Those eyes that struck me within long ago
Those eyes that see right through me, trust me as a friend,
How could I see this girl and miss her bright green eyes?
She has those eyes, oh, my, oh, Lily's bright green eyes,
Those eyes that had me smitten at first sight
Those eyes that watch me when I'm with my friends
Or when I'm on the Quidditch pitch in super flight
In Lily's eyes a castle, Hogwarts the place to be
And I will win her heart for sure – fair Gryffindor is she!
She has those eyes, oh they're my Lily's bright green eyes,
Those eyes that think I'm friendly, nothing more
Those eyes that never see me, never know I long
To hold her close, to live at last in Lily's eyes
Imagine me her lover
I long for the day she'll turn and see me standing there
And then she'll finally say…
Look in my eyes (They are my Lily's bright green eyes)
Those eyes I want to know forevermore (Those eyes will haunt me now forevermore)
My heart's forever captured, there's no turning back, (She doesn't know my secret, know I'll always be)
In love, alive and whole (In love, alive and whole)
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes! (In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes!)
"Lily's Eyes" (Version 2)
(Normal text = Snape, italics = Dumbledore)
Strangely quiet, the dungeon's full and it's time to teach again
As I lecture I think of her, I think of her
Strange this Harry, he leaves the room yet his face, it lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her, I think of her
From death she casts her spell, the memories make me cry,
And now a boy has some who has her eyes
He has her eyes, her son has Lily's bright green eyes,
Those eyes I can't forget from long ago
Those eyes that gave me life and hope I'd never known
How can I teach this boy who has her bright green eyes?
He has her eyes, the boy has Lily's bright green eyes,
Those eyes that give protection from above
Those eyes that closed to save her son from Voldemort
Whom he must now defeat alone with Lily's love
With Lily's eyes the boy will fulfill destiny,
Down Horcruxes once and for all – true Gryffindor he'll be!
He has her eyes, he has my Lily's bright green eyes,
Those eyes that make my Patronus a doe
I wish I said I'm sorry, now she's gone for good
As punishment, I teach a kid with Lily's eyes
Imagine me his mentor
I shall feel the shame
Till stupid Harry's done his task
So she didn't die in vain! (So she didn't die in vain!)
He has her eyes (He has my Lily's bright green eyes)
The woman gave her life to save her son (Those eyes will haunt me now forevermore)
At least I can ensure that good succeeds at last (He cannot know my secret, know I'll always be)
The good that used to live (In love, alive and whole)
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes! (In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes!)
