Lili Bosse is an American politician and philanthropist. The daughter of Holocaust survivors, she has supported many Jewish causes in the United States and Israel. She served as the Mayor of Beverly Hills, California in its centennial year, from March 2014 to March 2015. During her tenure, she spearheaded the weekly "Walk With the Mayor" for residents, supported the boycott of the Beverly Hills Hotel owned by the Sultan of Brunei, and promoted trade with China for the luxury industry. She serves on the Beverly Hills City Council.
Lili Bosse (née Toren) grew up on South Maple Drive in Beverly Hills, California. She is the only child of Holocaust survivors. Her father, Jack Toren, died in 1993. Her mother, Rosalia (Orenstein) Toren, born in Poland, escaped from the Auschwitz concentration camp and wrote two books about her experiences: Destiny in 1991 and A New Beginning in 1997; she died in February 2015. Her parents met in Israel shortly after the Second World War and decided to immigrate to the United States.
Lili is a 1953 American film released by MGM. It stars Leslie Caron as a touchingly naïve French girl, whose emotional relationship with a carnival puppeteer is conducted through the medium of four puppets. The screenplay by Helen Deutsch was adapted from "The Man Who Hated People", a short story by Paul Gallico which appeared in the October 28, 1950, issue of The Saturday Evening Post.
It won the Academy Award for Best Music, and was also entered into the 1953 Cannes Film Festival.
Leslie Caron and Mel Ferrer's rendition of "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" was released as a single and became a minor hit, reaching number 30 on the pop music charts.
Following the film's success, Gallico expanded his story into a 1954 novella entitled The Love of Seven Dolls. The film was adapted for the stage under the title Carnival! (1961).

Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye
It could be for the last time and it's not right
"Don't let yourself get in over your head", he said
"Alone and far from home I'll find you"
Sad like a candle you burnt out
Spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words
Scream to be heard like you needed any more attention
Throw the bottle, break the door and disappear
Sing me to sleep
I'll see you in my dreams
Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry"
Forever's never seemed so long as when you're not around
It's like a piece of me is missing
I could have learned so much from you but what's left now?
Don't you realize you showed this family a world of pain?
Can't you see this could have been a happy ending we let go?
Sing me to sleep
I'll see you in my dreams
Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry"
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
(You've taken so much with you)
I'll see you in my dreams
(But why you left the worst with me?)
Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
