Lily's Eyes--Sirius and Remus version

SIRIUS:
Strangely quiet, but now my mum
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I see his face
I see her eyes

LUPIN:
Strange, this Harry, he leaves the room
Yet listens, Extendable ears
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her

SIRIUS:
From death she casts her spell
From death, secretly spies
For now a boy has come who has her eyes

He has her eyes
The boy has Lily’s green eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hoped he’d never know
The darkness that killed her and
Destroyed those green eyes

LUPIN:
He has her eyes
The boy has Lily’s green eyes
Those eyes that closed and left us all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let us go
How can we see this boy who has her green eyes?

In Lily’s eyes shone happiness
In the darkest hour
And though she fought with all her might
She crumpled from his power

SIRIUS:
He has her eyes
He has his mother’s green eyes
Those eyes that loved my best friend and their son
Those eyes that shone ferocity
And loved her one son
And held him close
To live at last with Lily’s eyes

LUPIN:
Imagine me, a werewolf

SIRIUS:
I longed for the day
She would defeat Lord Voldemort

LUPIN AND SIRIUS:
Would God had let her stay

SIRIUS:
He has her eyes
He has Lily’s green eyes
Those eyes that Potter loved so
How can
I now forget
That once she dared
To fight against the Dark Lord
It’s Lily’s eyes
It’s Lily’s eyes

LUPIN: (sung simultaneously with SIRIUS)
He has her eyes
His mother’s green eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
How can
I now forget
That once she sacrificed her life
And he’s alive
With Lily’s eyes
With Lily’s eyes
