Green-Eyed Lily
(to the tune of Sugarloaf's "Green-Eyed Lady")

Pretty small one, green-eyed girl child,
Getting letter long ago
Starting lessons, quick proud witchling, 
Learning every single charm they'd show
Green-eyed Lily, James' fancy
Wise in love, she sees him too clearly
Old-souled Lily sees a James still yet to be
She rebuffs him, then waits so patiently

Green-eyed lady, magic's lady
Knows the spells, the charms, her wand
Heartstrong Lily, James' lady
Makes of magic, one strong bond
Brave young woman, Harry's mother
Armed with love, she lives but so briefly
Green-eyed Lily feels pain we've never seen
Saves her son but leaves him so lonely.

now guilty of fanfic *and* filk and probably destined for Azkaban and 
in spite of not having found it, unable to believe no one had filked 
this particular song yet
