Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
C
 
Put my heart in its recipe
Am
 
It makes me see what I want to see...

And be what I want to be

Because it brings me back you...

Lilac Wine was composed by James Shelton in 1950. The song is a melancholic ballad that speaks of the pain of unrequited love through the metaphor of drinking lilac wine to forget. It has been covered by various artists over the years, including Nina Simone on her album Wild Is the Wind (1966).
