Green Grow the Lilacs

Green grow the lilacs, the old song still rings true, Tex Ritter and Johnny Cash sang out the notes in colors blue. How is it I remember the song still so clear today as lilacs scent spring air of a sweetheart love with emeralds displayed both oceaned dark and fern feathered green but hidden and jaded. Sad songs in life are shaded by the forest green and words of sages as love burns hot red purple passioned in the sea of enveloped envy and shamrocks march in the sun's reflection now, almost empty. Lost to the soul and singer's original intent by indulged imbibed absinthe fading to shades of florescence curling through lost love's labyrinth. Green grow the lilacs, sparkling with dew, I miss you my love, how I miss you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5xWkhEL8-o
