I lost myself on a cold damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see And be what I want to be When I think more than I want 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 she 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 she, or am I just going crazy, dear? ♪ Lilac wine I feel unready for my love Feel unready for my love
