I lost myself on a cool damp night

I gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree

Lost my heart in its recipe

Made me see what I want to see

Be what I want to be

But I think more than I ought to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because it brings me back you

Lilac wine is sweet and heady,

like my love

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,

like my love

Listen to me, I cannot see clearly

Isn't that he, coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady

where's my love?

Lilac wine I feel unsteady

where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy

Isn't that he, Or am I going crazy, dear

Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready

For my love....

Feel I'm ready

For... my love
