Billy Lyrics

Billy sits and counts up

All the daisies on the lawn

Counts them up to thirty

That's the biggest that he knows

He wonders why she's crying

When she's got such pretty eyes

And if he could

He'd make her smile

With one of his silly jokes

Billy sees the seaside

Licks an ice cream on the beach

An old man has a sad face

Missing friends from his youth

Billy sees the sunshine

And he smiles at the gulls

Who weave their weary dance

Through the breezes up above

Billy sees what's there

Not tomorrow

Not yesterday

He's living in the moment before it slips away

He can dream when gets home

Watch the car lights on the wall

And he'll sleep in the safety

Not troubled by life's woes
