Lyrics:

I'm sitting reading on a Tuesday morning
The door bursts open, she flies in the room,
And she makes me stand 
As she takes me by the hand 
“Let's go down where the lilacs bloom”

Outside the sun is warm and so inviting
The air is heavy with their thick perfume
And the sky is clear 
so we're going to disappear
And go down where the lilacs bloom

Chorus:
And we'll drive (we'll drive) 
And we'll roll down the windows (the windows)
We'll glide (we'll glide)
Down the old country roads (the country roads)
And we know (we know)
That wherever the wind blows (where the wind blows)
And our whims lead us
We will follow

We leave the day's agendas far behind us
They'll still be waiting when our lives resume
Our careers and cares
No, they cannot find us there
When we're down where the lilacs bloom.

Chorus

How fleeting are the days of lilac blossoms
Within a week they'll peak and fade so soon
[Just as the rains of May give way to June…]
Though they're gone so fast
We'll enjoy them while they last
When we're down where the lilacs bloom
Though they're gone so fast
We'll enjoy them while they last
When we're down where the lilacs bloom
