"Lilac Time" (Black & White Version - 1970)

KURWANAGY ZENEEE

I'm also a Janine; born in 1954 and named after a French actress my parents saw on a movie marquee in Jackson, California. Older men would always sing those first few bars of the song when they met me: Jeannine I dream of liliac time.....and then hum the rest - ! Great to finally hear the entire song!

I found the original sheet music and I am now learning it on the ukelele. Love this song but Vaughn Deleath has a much better version.

This was the theme song from a 1928 movie called Lilac Time starring Gary Cooper and Coleen Moore . A movie about WWI.

I don't think I was named after this song, but it is my name just the same!! Funny but growing up I knew noone with this name. Now I am finding old songs with my name in it!!! So cool, thanks for posting the video!

It's seems a romanian old song, anyway very nice.

I'm yet another Jeanine named after the song! This is the first time I've heard more than the title line, which I only heard sung by an elderly man once when he was introduced to me.

I can't wait to play this for my mom, who named me after her grandmothers favorite song...

Thank you!

I too am a Janine named after this song. I have been trying to find it for a long time. Thanks so much.

Eva Taylor has a great version of this on napster. She is the Grandmother of Clarence Williams III ,aka Lincoln Hayes on Mod Squad. Vaughn Deleath also has a great version heard on Radio Dismuke.

How can I get a download of this song. I was named after it and wish to preserve this for the future.
