[Verse 1]
'Twas a sunny day in springtime,
When I said: "Goodbye, goodbye," A
nd the birds were sweetly singing,
As we parted you and I;

'Mid the perfume of the Lilacs,
When I said goodbye that day in May,
And the birds were sweetly calling,
When I heard you softly say:

[Chorus]
"Love me when the Lilacs bloom again
Sweetheart will you love me? Love me then?
Promise you'll remember and be true,
Tell me will you love me when the Lilacs bloom again?"

[Verse 2]
Now the nightingale is singing,
And the sun is setting low,
I can hear my sweetheart calling,
In the days of long ago.

When we parted 'neath the Lilacs,
And I left her all alone that day,
For my heart is always longing,
And again I hear her say:

[Chorus]
