When The Lilac Blooms Again

(Franz Doelle / Fritz Rotter)

Percival Mackey & his Concert Orchestra


Dearest, when the lilac blooms again
Happy, happy days when lovers sway
Meet the blossom thunder?
Never more a sunder
In a world that glows
with loves own wonder

When the ......., wild refrain
Bring it to the bar maid?
And send it late?
Kissing time in flower land
Fairy Land is our land
Dearest, when the lilac blooms again
