Where the Lilac Grows

The Smothers Brothers

(Roy C. Bennett/Sid Tepper)

*Sung to the tune of "Greensleeves"

I met my love where the lilac grows
Where the wind blows free, and the river flows
Her lips were sweet as a red, red rose
And we walked hand in hand through the glen

I love my love with a love so true
And the dream I dreamed, she was dreaming too
Her laughter echoed the meadows through
Ever green was the world I knew then

Now she's gone and I walk alone
Where the wind blows free, and the river flows
Wondering, wondering, where's the love
That I found where the lilac grows

I met my love where the lilac grows
Where the wind blows free, and the river flows
Her laughter echoed the meadows through
Ever green was the world I knew then

Now she's gone and I walk alone
Where the wind blows free, and the river flows
Wondering, wondering, where's the love
That I found where the lilac grows
