Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Green Grow the Lilacs

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew

Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru

Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two

Cause springtime is here and it's here without you

As sure as the bluebirds that fly up above

Springtime is sad without someone to love

Yes springtime is sad and it troubles my mind

In a world full of women, not one girl is mine

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew

Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru

Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two

Cause springtime is here and it's here without you

They say that it's best to forget what we had

Then it is to remember and always be said

But still I keep wondering each now and then

If ever I'll see you and kiss you again

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew

Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru

Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two

Cause springtime is here and it's here without you
