Willy is my child, he is my father
I would be his lady all my life
He says hed love to live with me
But for an ancient injury
That has not healed
He said I feel once again
Like I gave my heart too soon
He stood looking thru the lace
At the face on the conquered moon
And counting all the cars up the hill
And the stars on my window sill
There are still more reasons why
I love him
Willy is my joy, he is my sorrow
Now he wants to run away and hide
He says our love cannot be real
He cannot hear the chapels pealing silver bells
But you know its hard to tell
When youre in the spell if its wrong or if its real
But youre bound to lose
If you let the blues get you scared to feel
And I feel like Im just being born
Like a shiny light breaking in a storm
There are so many reasons why
I love him
Willy is my child, he is my father
