Violets For Your Furs |
|
Tom adair / matt dennis |
|
It was winter in manhattan |
|
Falling snowflakes filled the air |
|
The streets were covered with a film of ice |
|
But a little simple magic that i'd heard about somewhere |
|
Changed the weather all around, just withn a trice |
|
You bought me violets for my furs |
|
And it was spring for a while, remember? |
|
You bought me violets for my furs |
|
And there was april in that december |
|
The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay |
|
The snow looked leke dew on the blossoms |
|
As on a summer day |
|
You bought me violets for my furs |
|
Aand there was blue in the wintry sky |
|
You pinned the violets to my furs |
|
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by |
|
You smiled at me so sweetly |
|
Since then one thought occurs |
|
That we fell in love completely |
|
The day you bought me violets for my furs |
