Lilac Wine Songtext
von Eartha Kitt

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 be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I want 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 to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn′t that he, coming to me, nearly here

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 think I'm ready for my love
