green grow the lilacs

Harry Belafonte

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
ââ?¬Ë?Cause springtime is here and itââ?¬â?¢s here without you

As sure as the bluebirds that fly up above
Springtime is sad without someone to love
Yes springtime is sad and it troubles my mind
In a world full of women, not one girl is mine

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
ââ?¬Ë?Cause springtime is here and itââ?¬â?¢s here without you

They say that itââ?¬â?¢s best to forget what we had
Then it is to remember and always be said
But still I keep wondering each now and then
If ever Iââ?¬â?¢ll see you and kiss you again

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
ââ?¬Ë?Cause springtime is here and itââ?¬â?¢s here without you
