Louis Armstrong – Jeannine (I Dream of Lilac Time) Lyrics

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

Once more in happiest places
Close in my arms' fond embraces
Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
Your eyes they gleam in lilac time

Your winning smile
And cheeks blushing like a rose
Yet all the while
You sigh while nobody knows

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
When I return I'll make you mine
For you and I
Our love can never die

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
