The Scent of Lilacs

The scent of lilacs blooming, on a gentle summer breeze

Takes me back to that June, beneath the willow trees

Where we carved our initials, into the ancient bark

Two young hearts entwined, adrift upon life's ark

The scent of lilacs, a memory so clear

A first love's sweet perfume, dispelling every fear

I breathe it in so deeply, and you're right here by my side

The scent of lilacs, where love and memories reside

We walked along the river, hand in trembling hand

And whispered secret promises, in that enchanted land

The sun shone on your hair, a golden, radiant hue

And in that moment, darling, I knew my love was true

The scent of lilacs, a memory so clear

A first love's sweet perfume, dispelling every fear

I breathe it in so deeply, and you're right here by my side

The scent of lilacs, where love and memories reside

The years may come and go, and seasons change their tune

But every time I smell lilacs, my heart remembers June

And though we're not together, the love will never cease

The scent of lilacs brings a moment of sweet peace

The scent of lilacs, a memory so clear

A first love's sweet perfume, dispelling every fear

I breathe it in so deeply, and you're right here by my side

The scent of lilacs, where love and memories reside

Memories reside... within the lilac's bloom.

My heart remembers you, dispelling all the gloom.
