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 Put my heart in it's recipe It makes me see what I want to see And be who I want to be When I think more than I ought to think And 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 me, I cannot see clearly Isn't that she, coming near here Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love Lilac wine, I feel unready Where's my love Listen me, why is everything so hazy Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love I, I feel unready for my love
