Strawberry, Lilac, And Lime

Music by Marshall Barer
Lyrics by Jerry Blatt

Bette Midler – STRAWBERRY, LILAC AND LIME (1972)
NOT SURE THE LYRICS ARE RIGHT ON A FEW WORDS

Strawberry, Strawberry, Lilac, and Lime
the Paramount clock has forgotten the time
The Gardens of Neon have burst in the bloom
But the Princess of Persia is not in her room

Untouched on the table her curds and her way
She hasn’t been seen since the dawn of the day
When she pulled on her raincoat and ran for the train
Singing strawberry, liliac, and lime

Only two quarters and one little dime
strawberry staircase a princess may
climb and leaving her burdens Below in
the town remain on the hilltop and never
come down

Oh call the chief archer and ask has he seen a princess
asleep in the third mezzanine many aprils
have passed since we noticed her last
Singing strawberry, lilac, and lime

Lilocks grow wild now all over the
Elm and Vines have enveloped the aster
Hotel the garden is off and. the rock sea is dead all empty and
cold is the princess in bed

But a high on the hill where the wild

Berries grow where blackberries blossom

And blueberries blow curled up all alone

In a mulberry throne

a child is

asleep in the

very last Row

dream 0f

strawberry lilac, and lime
