[Verse 1]
Lilacs and violets on my door step
All in one bouquet
With a note I found enclosed
It says goodbye today
[Verse 2]
When our love was new new he promised
We would never part
When he gave me lilacs, violets
I gave him my heart
[Bridge]
But that was once upon a time
When all is love was mine
And now there's
[Verse 3]
Nothing left but lilacs, violets
Dreams of yesterday
Better give them lots of love
For soon they'll fade away
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3 (Refrain)]
Better give them lots of love
For soon they'll fade away
