  *++Lyrics:|\\
Do you remember, sweetheart, those happy days gone by,\\
When you and I together climb'd the high rocks,\\
Your eyes with love were bright,\\
A tender, happy light,\\
I handed you a little bunch of lilacs;\\
You loved me then, sweetheart, I know,\\
You often told me so,\\
When the evening sun carressed the dear old grey rocks,\\
The sweetest thought to me,\\
As dear as life could be,\\
You kissed me when you took the bunch of lilacs.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Sweetest bunch of lilacs I will pick for you,\\
Wonder if you love me, if your heart is true;\\
Give me a promise, surely you'll do this;\\
Tell me that you love me, answer with a kiss.\\
\\
Those happy days of childhood with golden visions crown'd\\
As the radiant sun with beauty crowns the high rocks,\\
Sweet love was in your eyes,\\
A love that never dies,\\
I pick'd for you a little bunch of lilacs;\\
Dear love, you said to me, be true,\\
As I will be to you,\\
And mem'ry twines with love the dear old grey rocks,\\
And so the thought to me,\\
As kissed me when you took the bunch of lilacs.\\
\\
