Violets for Your Furs (Takes 4 & 5)

[Chorus]
You brought 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

[Verse 1]
The snow drifted down on the flowers
And melted where it lay
The snow looked like dew on the blossoms
As on a summer's day

[Chorus]
You brought me violets for my furs
And there was blue in the wintry sky
You pinned the violets to my furs
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by

[Verse 2]
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then, onе thought occurs
That we fell in love complеtely
The day that you brought me violets for my furs

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then, one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day that you brought me violets for my furs

[Spoken: Studio Personnel & Billie Holiday]
Alright, it's alright, here we go
You say I followed her
The band was pretty [?]
That time I felt it
It's just [?]
She goes that that was something there
She goes "A-do-do-do," you say I following her
Okay
Alright, here we go
[?] It's gonna be four, you know, it's gonna be four, four beats then you come in
I'll just count off four beats
And follow her
Yeah, alright?
One, one, two, three
