deep purple

the sun is sinking low behind the hill

i loved you long ago

i loved you still

across the hill

you come to me at twilight

bringing me love's old thrill

when that deep purple falls

over sleepy garden walls

and the stars begin to twinkle in the sky

through the mist of a memory

pretty mama

you wander on back to me

breathing my name with a sigh

in the still of the night

once again

i hold you tight

though you're gone

your love lives on when moonlight beams

and as long as my heart will beat

little mama

don't you know that we'll always meet

right here in my deep purple dreams

in the still of the night

once again

i hold you tight

though you're gone

your love lives on when moonlight beams

and as long as my heart will beat

pretty mama

we'll always meet

right here in my deep purple dreams

deep purple

come to me in my deep purple

deep purple

come to me in my deep purple
