We'll Gather Lilacs

We'll Gather Lilacs
Lonely the road
When you travel alone
Sad is the heart
When your loved one is gone
Blue skies are grey skies
No spring clouds appear
Hope is a stranger
Who once seemed so near
Yet in your absence,
I dream happy dreams,
Dreams of the future
While bright sunlight gleams
Hoping and praying
That dreams come true
Planning the dear things
Once more we shall do

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 are 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 are home once more
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 are 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 are home once more
We'll gather lilacs in the spring
When you are home once more
