1. When the deep purple falls, over sleepy garden walls,

                    G                   Dm               E      - E7

    and the stars begin to twinkle in the night,

               Am           C         - G                       E

    In the mist of a memory,       you wander back to me,

Am                      D                 G        - E - A - D

    breathing my name with a sigh.

2. In the still of the night, once again I hold you tight,

                             G                                     Dm                    E         - E7

    though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams.

                 Am               C                   - G                              E

    And as long as my heart will beat,       sweet lover, we'll always meet,

Am                   D                   G        - E - A - D

    here in my deep purple dreams.

    though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams.

                 Am               C                   - G                              E

    And as long as my heart will beat,       sweet lover, we'll always meet,

    here in my deep purple dreams.
