“Lily Was Here” is a single, released in November 1989 in the Netherlands and on 12 February 1990 in the UK, from the David A. Stewart soundtrack of the same name, for the Dutch movie De Kassière.

David A. Stewart invited Candy Dulfer, who had not previously released any of her material, to play the saxophone on this instrumental. The single became a major hit and stayed at the number one position for five weeks in the Netherlands. Because of this success, the single was also released in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States where it became a hit as well, reaching number six in the UK and even rising to number eleven in the tough U.S. market. The success of this instrumental encouraged Dulfer to compose music for her own album, which she titled Saxuality.
