We'll Gather Lilacs Lyrics

Although you're far away
And life is sad and grey
I have a scheme, a dream to try

I'm thinking dear of you
And all I meant to do
When we're together, you and I

We'll soon forget our care and pain
And find such lovely things to share, again

We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learnt to sing again
When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelights glow
I'll hold you close and never let you go
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
When you come home once more

Instrumental

Until our hearts have learnt to sing again
When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelights glow
I'll hold you close and never let you go
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
When you come home once more
