"I'll Be" - by Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes
that color them wonderful
stop me a steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
thrust towards the sky
never revealing their depth

And tell me
that we belong together
Dress it out
with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
of heartache
that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life


And rain falls
angry on the tin roof
as we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival
You're my living proof
my love is alive
and not dead

And tell me
that we belong together
Dress it out
with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
of heartache
that hang from above

Chorus

And I've dropped out
I've burned up
I've fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, I'm turned on
remembered the thing that you said

Chorus

This is the best song for Lily/James I've come across so far. I think about it from James' point of view -- he loves Lily's green eyes -- his life is difficult, full of heartache as his friends in the Order of the Phoenix die -- he sees Lily as proof of life and love, something he needs as danger enfolds them in dark times. He wants Lily to see the same in him, and find comfort and support in him. And the line "I'll be the greatest fan of your life" represents that, egotistical though he's been, James feels extremely humble next to Lily.
