Lyrics
A boy and a girl fell in love long ago
But their love soon lost its way
Tho’ he wooed her, and wooed her
In vain he pursued her
And ev’ry night the neighbors heard him say
Refrain
Lillette, Lillette, my pretty violet
Won’t you please come back
Oh please come back to me
I can’t forget that lucky night we met
And the way our lips met oh so tenderly
Your eyes are like the bluest skies in spring to me
Your kiss must be an angels kiss
‘Cause heaven is what it brings to me
Lillette, Lillette, I’m gonna get you yet
Won’t you please come back
Oh please come back to me
