Lila Lost her Golden One

Vivi rogers

Lyrics:

His sense of humor 

Defied all rumors 

She knew weren’t him 

His long blue jacket 

Dressed like white rabbit 

She knew him 

The letter L 

Stood for love 

Until Lila lost her golden one 

3 months had gone by 

He didn’t know why 

She was so hurt 

His paint was peeling 

Copper revealing 

No gold underneath dirt 

The letter L 

Stood for love 

Until Lila lost her golden one 

This school’s infested 

He finally fell in 

To the wrong crowd 

No one expected 

The shiny new toy 

To get put in the lost and found 

The letter L 

Stood for love 

Until Lila lost her golden one 

Oh She knew him 

Til she didn’t

White ears in a blur when he’d run 

Oh she knew him 

Till she didn’t 

He’s not her golden one

Oh She knew him

Til she didn’t 

He’s not her golden one 

Oh she knew him 

Till she didn’t 

He’s not her golden one 

Now the letter L 

Stands for Lila left all alone 

And little eyes that told lavish lies Lila didn’t know 

Until she lost her golden one
