| We’ll gather lilacs in the spring again
|
| And walk together down an English lane
|
| Until our hearts have learned to sing again
|
| When you come home once more
|
| And in the evening by the firelight’s glow
|
| You’ll hold me close and never let me go
|
| Your eyes will tell me all I long to know
|
| When you come home once more
|
| 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 mean to do
|
| When we’re together, you and I
|
| We’ll soon forget our care and prayer
|
| 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 learned to sing again
|
| When you come home once more
|
| And in the evening by the firelight’s glow
|
| You’ll hold me close and never let me go
|
| Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
|
| When you come home once more |
