I lost myself on a cool 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 Lost my heart in its recipe It made me see what I want to see And be what I want to be But I think more than I ought to think I do things I never should do I drink much more than 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 unready For my love... feel unready For my love
