“Violets for Your Furs” is a 1941 song written by Matt Dennis with words by Tom Adair, and first recorded in that year by Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra with vocals by Frank Sinatra.
The song describes the wearing of violets with furs on an evening in Manhattan.
This song is said to be about Lana Turner...
It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air
The streets were covered with a film of ice
But a little simple magic that I heard about somewhere
Changed the weather all around, just within a trice
I bought you violets for your furs
And it was spring for a while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs
And there was April in that December
The snow drifted down on the flowers
And it melted where it lay
The snow looked like dew on the blossoms
As on a summer day
I bought you violets for your furs
And there was blue in the wintry sky
Then you pinned the violets to your 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 that I bought you violets for your furs
Violets for Your Furs was written by Tom Adair & Matt Dennis.
Violets for Your Furs was produced by Voyle Gilmore.
Frank Sinatra released Violets for Your Furs on Mon Jan 04 1954.
