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
[Instrumental Break]
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
Deep Purple was written by Peter DeRose & Mitchell Parish.
