Lily of Sharon
Mizrahi pop with swung backbeat, upright bass thump, handclaps, springy electric guitar twang and dusty acoustic strums; verse stays intimate and story-driven, pre-chorus strips to claps and bass for a lifted call, chorus opens wide with stacked harmony and gang response. Male vocals with weathered close-mic intimacy in verses, rough doubles on hooks, short delay throws on key lines, organ swells and tape hiss flickers between sections. Bright, punchy mix with warm midrange lift., acoustic, light, bright, mizrahi, male vocals, warm, harmony, electric

Lyrics
Verse 1
The love of my life is you
The love of eternity
I saw your face in the yard
By the fig tree, in the breeze
A rose gave off its scent
The early fruit was sweet
And your name came up
Like a song beneath my feet
Pre-Chorus
Dance with my people, dance
Complete the dance of youth
Spring will rise with us in joy
Yes, it is a great holiday for us
Chorus
The love of my life is you
The love of eternity
The love of my life is you
Lily of Sharon, stay with me
Dance, dance, my people
Dance, complete the dance of youth
Spring will rise with us in joy
Yes, it is a great holiday for us
Verse 2
The voice is heard again
Above the green trees
The almond tree has bloomed
And turned white in the heat
The warmth from above
Moves across the field
It wakes us till nightfall
And makes our promise real
Pre-Chorus
Dance with my people, dance
Complete the dance of youth
Spring will rise with us in joy
Yes, it is a great holiday for us
Chorus
The love of my life is you
The love of eternity
The love of my life is you
Lily of Sharon, stay with me
Dance, dance, my people
Dance, complete the dance of youth
Spring will rise with us in joy
Yes, it is a great holiday for us
Bridge
Already the pomegranate hawk
Circles over the land
The old days fall away
When you take my hand
A-a-a-a-a-a-a
A-a, my beloved
Final Chorus
The love of my life is you
The love of eternity
The love of my life is you
Lily of Sharon, stay with me
Dance, dance, my people
Dance, complete the dance of youth
Spring will rise with us in joy
Yes, it is a great holiday for us
