Life swims past my window
Too fast too understand
The only thing I've got on hold is
A photograph in my hand
Perfume of wild lilac
Is drifting on the breeze
And every precious moment
Brings me to my knees
Sweet wild lilac
Blown away, blown away
The fragile and the beautiful
And the warm of heart
These are the flowers
Of a world that's torn apart
Perfume of wild lilac
Drifting on the breeze
And every precious moment
Still brings me to my knees
Sweet wild lilac, blown away
Wild lilac, blown away
