Jeannine, I dream of lilac time, your eyes, they beam in lilac time,

Your winning smile, and cheeks blushing like the rose,

yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows,Jeannine, my queen of lilac time, when I return, I’ll make you mine,

For you and I, our love dream can never die, Jeannine, I dream of lilac time.

Jeannine I Dream of Lilac TimeMusic: Nathaniel Shilkret (1889-1982)

Lyrics: L. Wolfe Gilbert (1886-1970)

They Say It’s WonderfulWords and Music: Irving Berlin (1888-1989)

Women:They say that falling in love is wonderful, it’s wonderful, so they say.And with a moon up above it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, so they tell me.I can’t recall who said it, I know I never read it, I only know they tell me that love is grand, and,The thing that’s known as romance is wonderful, wonderful, in every way, so they say.

Page 4: Jeannine I Dream of Lilac Time

You’ll find that falling in love is wonderful, it’s wonderful, as they say.And with the moon up above it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, as they tell you.You leave your house some morning, and without any warning,You’re stopping people shouting that love is grand, and,To hold someone in your arms is wonderful, wonderful, in every way, as they say.
