CShe loved rings and Gstring Alike BmuAsic 
CRite of spring, she'd Goften choose it 
She Dmspoke like greetings Csoaked in time 
Her Gmautumn-coulored Chair was fine 
CShe wore cottons Gquite Aa BloAt 
She Cloved dark tea Gand coffee pot 
She Dmlived with a Cdog and cat 
FoGmrever yours and Cafter that 
Chorus: 
CI remember that to GHolly everyAmone was good 
No Fone has ever Gloved the way CHolly could 
She never Gcared about herself the Amway she should 
No Fone will ever Gtreat you like CHolly would 
She collected dolls up-dressed 
Always spoke of her friend Yasmine 
She was fond of poetry 
Durelvion, Cummings, E.E. 
She loved riding in a train 
And "catch me" was her favourite game 
She loved the yard, Bernard and Clay 
She only ate one meal a day 
Chorus twice
