歌曲名 Guilding The Lily

歌手名 Jesse Winchester

A bolt of pure silk from a Chinaman's loom

I know you'll be pleased but really

All the silk in the world on you little girl

Would simply be gild on the lily

Oh all of my gifts pale as I give them to you

Oh just give me time surely there's something will do

And I'm gonna bring it to you

An african diamond as blue as their skies

I know that will please you but really

The man had no diamond as blue as your eyes

And it would be gild on the lily

Oh all of my gifts pale as I give them to you

Oh just give me time surely there's something will do

And I'm gonna bring it to you

Oh all of my gifts pale as I give them to you

Oh just give me time surely there's something will do

And I'm gonna bring it to you

I wish I could give you what's locked in my heart

I know that would please you but really

I mislaid the key a long time ago

And it would be gild on the lily

Oh all of my gifts pale as I give them to you

Oh just give me time surely there's something will do

And I'm gonna give it to you

Oh all of my gifts pale as I give them to you

Oh just give me time surely there's something will do

And I'm gonna bring it to you
