This Year of Grace the Musical - Lilac Time Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
He: Oh tell me, little maiden pray
Why should you choose to hide away
On such a lovely summer’s day?
She: He does not know that I am the Princess,
disguised as'a beggar maid. Ah me!
Kind sir, I know not who you are
But if you should presume too far
I shall seek refuge with mamma.
He: 5hc does not know that I am the Crown
Prince, disguised as a gardener. Ah me!
She: Spring is the time for folly. Ah ah, ah ah,
He: Fly away melancholy. Ah ah, ah ah.
She: Spring is the time
He: Spring is the time
She: Spring is the time
He: Spring is the time
She: For folly.
He: So melancholy fly away
For it is spring and life is gay and jolly.
(Refrain: 1)
Both: Lilac time, lilac time
Blossoms are o'er the lea.
He: Birds are chirruping love’s sweet song
She: Church bells ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong!
He: Steal a kiss,
Just like this,
He kisses her.
She: You are too bold and free,
(She slaps him roguishly.)
Both: That is why it’s lilac time
Under the chestnut tree.
(Verse: 2)
She: I am engrossed as you can see
In reading some philosophy.
He: I iteiature this year must be
So very much in vogue,
Why should you bury that dainty nose
In so much dry and dusty prose?
She: You’re making love to me, I suppose,
He: You charming little rogue,
She: A charming little rogue,
Both: A charming, charming, charming little rogue.
(Refrain: 2)
Both: Lilac time, lilac time
Blossoms are o’er the lea.
He: Birds are mating near and far
She: Tra-la-lalala. La, la, la.
He: Steal a kiss
Just like this. (Kisses her.)
She : You are too bold and free,
(She slaps him lightly.)
Both: That is why it’s lilac time
Under the chestnut tree,
Ah ah—ah ah—
Ah ah—ah ah—ah ah ah ah ah ah
Heigho nin nonny no
Heigho whack jolly-o
Heigho nin nonny no
Heigho, lackaday do
That is why it’s lilac time
That is why it’s lilac time
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hal
