A-ha - Presenting Lily Mars lyrics

Presenting Lily Mars Tap dancer, a soon-to-be star She'll beat your heart so fast Spotlight's on Lily tonight She's on Channel One's late night show She's watching people come and go Producer says, "You've got it made, girl" And when she's lying sleepless in his arms The frost paints roses on poor Lily's window pane Presenting Lily's mum She still lives on in Lily's mind Stopped ageing years ago Now she's gone but left her dreams in Lily's eyes Lily's wondering if mummy's watching her tonight "Good morning," says father Mars Presenting a salesman's cheerful face His mouth is never shut As he strides from door to door to door to door Watch his face as he puts his foot in my door Presenting Lily Mars She's sensing moons and stars The pills that Doc subscribed Will keep the sleepless, dreamless nights away Oh, poor Lily, now you're sleeping day by day By day by day by day by day Bye, bye Poor Lily, mummy's watching you tonight
