Lyrics
Puppy love I’d walk your sweetness home
You held my hand, we were out on our own
And love floated in through rustling leaves
Drifting in quiet on a warm lilac breeze
Young love and high hope at the Legion Hall
You asked me to dance at the springtime ball
And love floated in through rustling leaves
Drifting in quiet, on a warm lilac breeze
A comforting scent, no common perfume
Wrapping your soul, lilacs in bloom
True love can hurt, and we needed to talk
You took me out for a late evening walk
Love floated in through rustling leaves
Drifting in quiet, on a warm lilac breeze
A comforting scent, no common perfume
Wrapping your soul, lilacs in bloom
Old love sits still on a front porch swing
Lilacs in bloom again, we got one more spring
Love still floats through rustling leaves
Drifting in quiet, on a warm lilac breeze
