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
