Molly
William J. Hall -
Verses 1 & 2, June, 2012; Bridge and Verse 3, January 2021, final edit August 2021

  1 Molly comes downstairs
  2 She's playing dress-up
  3 A lacy evening gown
  4 Her very favorite
  5 Bright pink and purple hair
  6 She's over the top
  7 Enthroned on the chaise-lounge
  8 Consuming chocolate
  9 We choose to remember
  10 Laughter in her eyes
  11 Running with her friends
  12 Happy to be alive
 
  13 Piano late at night
  14 Her private temple
  15 Melody and rhyme
  16 A secret calling
  17 Myst'ries the darkness hides
  18 We could not follow
  19 We didn't hear the signs
  20 Or see her falling
  21 We choose to remember
  22 A star in cloudy skies
  23 We don't want to pretend
  24 And she wouldn't want to lie
 
  25 Every day
 
  26 We leave things as they are
  27 Hung in her closet
  28 Books and poetry
  29 Her costume forest
  30 We choose to remember
  31 Exactly as it was
  32 Beginning and the end
  33 The blessings and the loss
 
  34 Every day
