theories... interesting that Mary and Harry rhyme and all...then 
there's the fact that there's a colin and Neville....lol...well

Song: Lily's Eyes Lyrics

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

[ARCHIBALD]
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her 
I think of her

[NEVILLE]
>From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come 
Who has her eyes

She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life 
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl 
And miss those hazel eyes 

[ARCHIBALD]
She has her eyes 
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes 
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go 
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes 

In Lily's eyes a castle 
This house seemed to be
And I, her bravest knight became
My lady fair was she

[NEVILLE]
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother- never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed 
To hold her close
To live at last in Lily's Eyes

[ARCHIBALD]
Imagine me, a lover

[NEVILLE]
I longed for the day 
She'd turn and see me standing there

[ARCHIBALD AND NEVILLE]
Would God had let her stay

[NEVILLE]
She has her eyes
She has Lily's hazel eyes

Those eyes that first I loved so
How can
I now forget
That once I dared

To be alive and whole
In Lily's eyes
In Lily's eyes

[ARCHIBALD]
She has her eyes
My Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me
Happy long ago
How can
I now forget
That once I dares to be in love

Alive and whole
In Lily's eyes
In Lily's eyes
