Lilacs in bloom, rarest perfume
tells me that waiting is ended.
Springtime is here, soon you'll be near,
when all our heartaches are mended.
Close in my arms fond embraces,
once more in happiest places.

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time,
your eyes, they beam in lilac time.
Your winning smile,
and cheeks blushing like a rose,
yet all the while,
you sigh when nobody knows.
Jeannine, my queen of lilac time,
when I return,
I'll make you mine.
In your dear eyes,
there's love that never dies,
Jeannine, I dream of lilac time.

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time,
your eyes, they beam in lilac time.
Your winning smile,
and cheeks blushing like a rose,
yet all the while,
you sigh when nobody knows.
Jeannine, my queen of lilac time,
when I return,
I'll make you mine.
In your dear eyes,
there's love that never dies,
Jeannine, I dream of lilac time.

Shadows are gone, breaking of dawn,
living in hope for tomorrow.
Banish the care, we've had our share,
we've known the meaning of sorrow.
Blossoms of lilac in season,
my heart is light, that's the reason.

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time,
your eyes, they beam in lilac time.
Your winning smile,
and cheeks blushing like a rose,
yet all the while,
you sigh when nobody knows.
Jeannine, my queen of lilac time,
when I return,
I'll make you mine.
In your dear eyes,
there's love that never dies,
Jeannine, I dream of lilac time.

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time,
your eyes, they beam in lilac time.
Your winning smile,
and cheeks blushing like a rose,
yet all the while,
you sigh when nobody knows.
Jeannine, my queen of lilac time,
when I return,
I'll make you mine.
In your dear eyes,
there's love that never dies,
Jeannine, I dream of lilac time.
