Eartha Kitt - Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in it's recipe
It makes me see what I want to see...
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine...
I think I'm ready for my love...

After listening Jeff's a great second..
-
I almost always cry .. listening to such beauty .. A singer like her should live forever..
-
I rest.. More beaty than this is .. when the beetlebug's are zooming..

@sonopaolotorre Simone yes , Buckley makes it DRAG. Brooks has a powerful voice. The only singer to have major chart success with this song.
-
@Jackie1957able ?! Nina Simone! Jeff Buckley!
-
ACTUALLY .THE BEST VERSION IS BY ELKIE BROOKS.
-
This is not the best version by her though, I had a record of her doing this, and the backing group was more in "Tune" with this brilliant song.
Actually the best version of this song is the one by Jeff Buckley
-
bellissima!
-
@greywolf1958 Spot on comment !!! Elkie voice is great.
-
Fantastic voice, rubbish backing group. I still prefer Elkie though - nobody has her strength and emotion, in my opinion.

What a gifted woman, an amazing voice, and a natural ability to sing in melodies not compromised by adherence to a rigid cultural format.

EARTHA was one of the very best!!! She really leaves a gap....so true. All that`s left now for me is my enormous collection of music on her and fotos, letters,clippings,posters,etc,etc
