"We'll gather lilacs" Novello

[theinnerlight87]

Wonderful! We don't hear enough Ivor Novello these days. Says the 24 year old who seems to be alone in liking Novello...

[LiltedLullaby]

@theinnerlight87 Haha I'm fifteen and I like Novello :D

My Gran used to play this on her piano. It brought a lump to my throat. Thank you for posting.

What sad melody and words

[ifuliki]

Quite an echo. I do NOT like Cerys Mathews rendition. I would like a studio or movie version sung by a tenor if possible

Ivor Novello ydy Cymraeg

Does anyone know the lyrics of this song.I cant seem to find them anywhere

[londonian]

We'll gather lilacs in the spring again

And walk together down an English lane

Until our hearts have learned to sing again

When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelight's glow

You'll hold me close and never let me go

Your eyes will tell me all I want to know

When you come home once more
