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.
