When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls

And the stars begin to flicker in the sky

Through the mist of a memory you wander 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, lover we'll always meet

Here in my deep purple dreams

Here in my deep purple dreams
