Tiger Lily
Happiness feels like a French Broad Breeze
Your head on my chest, my head in the weeds
Our heads in the clouds as we straddle river trees
Leaving back dusty footprints and taking back sweetest memories
Happiness looks like a skyscraper top
silhouette sunset at your back
hidey-hidey-hi with you my love around every hilly city block
i could never dare think to give it back
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness sounds like big-iron echoes
Freefallin' downtown in the Key of D
Big-iron backdrop to a soursweet rusty noise
singing Petty songs of good girls and bad boys
got me whistlin' dixie to those Tom Petty songs of good girls and bad boys
I can't shake those not-so-petty Petty songs of good girls and bad boys
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness tastes kinda like candy in a cup
Of a farewell dessert in an ice cream shop
Sweet cup of candy dropped down on the floor
Sweet cup picked back 'cuz we wanted more
Happiness tastes kinda like candy in a cup
Of a farewell dessert in an ice cream shop
Sweet cup of candy dropped down on the floor
Sweet cup picked back 'cuz we wanted more
Happiness tastes kinda like candy in a cup
Of a farewell dessert in an ice cream shop
Sweet cup of candy dropped down on the floor
Sweet cup picked back 'cuz we wanted more
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness smells kinda like midnight rain
fresh cut grass and evergreen trees
we were lying on your back borch under agitated clouds
upset, hung-so-low and
spitting the sweetest of springtime sprays
Lightning in your eye
Lightning in your eye
Lightning in your eye my dear
Thunder in my veins!
Happiness is You next to Me next to You
Happiness is You next to Me next to You

My husband and I listened to Tim Falvey sing Tiger Lily on a bench at the waterfront park in Charleston, SC. It was the highlight of our trip. I wanted to stay all evening, but I promised my husband a walk. Thank you for making for us a sweet memorable moment. I searched and searched until I found the name of the song! 😊. Tim is extremely talented and when he talks, he sounds like a singer I listened to in the early 80’s. Keith Green. God bless you!
