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 its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to [C7]be
When I think more than I want to [C7]think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to [C7]drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and [Bm]heady, like [F]my [A]love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like [F]my [A]love
Listen to [C7]me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to [C7]me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and [Bm]heady where's my [A]love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my [A]love?
Listen to [C7]me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine, I feel unready for [Dm7]my [A]love
Feel unready for [Dm7]my [A]love
