connie converse - i have considered the lilies lyrics
i have considered the lilies
they never toil, they only bloom
they never feel chilly or tired or silly
and they don’t need much room
i have considered the lilies
i have considered how they grow
tell me, tell me how to be a lily
if you know
oh lilies, toil not, neither do they spin
i’m gonna take my working papers
and turn them in
i’m handing over my pencil and pen
i won’t be needing my broom again
i’ll bloom by day, i’ll bloom by night
and blooming will be my delight
wry tigerlily
still waterlily
see how they all dilly-dally
look at the day lily, lemon lily, calla-lily
and the lovely little lilies of the valley
oh lilies, toil not, neither do they spin
i’m gonna take my working papers
and turn them in
to be more splendid than solomon
i’ll walk around wearing the morning sun
the sun by day, the moon by night
and blooming will be my delight
it would be fun but i’m afraid that i would freeze
king soloman was not arrayed like one of these
so lilies, i can’t afford to dilly-dally
i’ve got to work for my cotton, work for my denim
linen and damask and challis
not like the day lily, lemon lily, calla-lily
and the lovely little lilies of the valley
i have considered the lilies
i have considered how they grow
tell me, tell me how to be a lily
if you know
