Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew Green grow the lilacs, and green is their hue Each lilac of green turns to one that is blue Love, like the lilacs, can change colors too I used to have a young love as soft as the snow In springtime and summer together we'd go It's sad to the heart when your love is untrue Like the green lilacs when they turn into blue I pa**ed my love's window both early and late The look that she gives me would make your heart ache The look that she gives me was painful to see My love loves another much better than me
