A Billion Lilies<\/span>
 <\/span>
 <\/span>
I dream<\/span>
 <\/span>
A hundred wishes<\/span>
As the day begins<\/span>
To loom.<\/span>
 <\/span>
I taste<\/span>
 <\/span>
2000 kisses<\/span>
As they prance<\/span>
Around my room.<\/span>
 <\/span>
I think<\/span>
 <\/span>
A million sillies  <\/span>
As my head<\/span>
Begins to spin.<\/span>
 <\/span>
 <\/span>
I smell<\/span>
 <\/span>
A billion lilies<\/span>
As I tumble<\/span>
In the bin.<\/span>
