{Verse 1}
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
{Verse 2}
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
{Verse 3}
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
{Verse 4}
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
{Verse 5}
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 just going crazy, dear
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love
