Jeannine
Henry Jerome and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
Your eyes, they beam in the lilac time
Your winning smile
And cheeks blushing like the rose
Yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows
Jeannine, my queen of lilac times
When I return, I'll make you mine
For you and I, our love dream can never die

Line by Line Meaning

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
Oh, Jeannine, I daydream of the good old lilac days that we used to have


Your eyes, they beam in the lilac time
Your eyes used to sparkle in the lilac season, oh, how I miss seeing them shine like that


Your winning smile
You always had the most charming smile that could light up a room


And cheeks blushing like the rose
You were so cute when your cheeks turned as red as a rose


Yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows
Even when you were happy, you always had a hint of sadness that you kept hidden from everyone else


Jeannine, my queen of lilac times
Jeannine, you were always the queen of the lilac season, and it was an honor to be with you then


When I return, I'll make you mine
When I come back, I promise to make you mine, forever and always


For you and I, our love dream can never die
Together, you and I, our love can never fade away, it will remain forever in our hearts
