I made wine from the lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be

Lilac Wine was composed by James Shelton in 1950. The lyrics describe the singer's (the very early 1980's Elkie Brookes for me) heartache at losing her lover and taking solace from wine made from a lilac tree, (which is toxic in 'real life')
i only know the jeff buckley version of the song

Well imagined and photographed - the pristine white makes it stand out so well. Perfect on the blank background.

I guess you ran out of vases?
I used to have an Ellie Brooks album at one time & rather liked this song.
Pretty capture!
