Actually, I had never heard that song till about a month ago when I 
went to a show of broadway tunes, and nearly jumped out of my seat 
and hit the roof, when I heard it. It sounded so Harry Potter. So, 
here is my modified version of it, which I've taken to singing at 
least four times a day. The original song, of course, was sung by two 
people, but with my modifications and deletions, it's all Snape's. 
(Still, it's almost frightening how little needs to be changed.)

Lily's Emerald Eyes sung by Severus Snape

Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her

Strange, this Harry, he leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her

>From death she casts her spell
All night I hear her sighs
And now a boy has come
Who has her eyes

He has her eyes
The boy has Lily's emerald eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope I've never known
How can I see the boy
And miss those emerald eyes

He has her eyes
He has my Lily's emerald eyes
Those eyes that loved James Potter - never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed
To hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes

Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God had let her stay

She has my Lily's emerald eyes
Those eyes that firs I
love so long ago
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be
In love, alive and whole
In Lily's eyes
In Lily's eyes.
