Lillian

I was barely sixteen and was living on my own
I left the Midwest now I called LA my home
I love the sea and sunshine, I left the gray skies behind
This was the place I’d spend the best years of my life

Each night the hippies gathered on the Sunset Strip
We’d all walk for hours, on this never ending trip
Just when I thought my night ended, suddenly I was befriended
I thank my lucky stars for being here tonight

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
She took me home that night, and she made me a man
For those few moments, I just melted in her hands
I had the time of my young life, that night with Lillian

Although I kept returning, she never came back
I felt so embarrassed, for the skills I sorely lacked
Even though it was my first time, I knew I’d be better next time
I’ll slow the tempo ‘cos slow dancing’s where it’s at

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
She took me home the night, and she made me a man
For that brief moment, I just melted in her hands
I had the time of my young life, that night with Lillian

So much time has passed, and so many memories fade away
That night with Lillian is gonna last

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
She took me home the night, that I became a man
The image of this story, came to life in all it’s glory
Let’s toast the Lillians, for showing us the way 

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
She took me home the night, and she made me a man
For that brief moment, I just melted in her hands
I had the time of my young life, that night with Lillian

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
She took me home that night, and she made me a man
For those few moments, I just melted in her hands
I had the time of my young life, that night with Lillian

Her name was Nancy but she went by Lillian
