Deep Purple Songtext
von Ray Stevens

The sun is sinking low behind the hills
I loved you long ago, I love you still
Across the years you come to me at twilight
Bringing me love′s old thrill

When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky
Through the mist of a memory
Pretty women you wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh


In the still (in the still) of the night (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
Little woman don′t you know we'll always meet
Right here in my deep purple dreams

When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle
In the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh

In the still (in the still) of the night (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
Pretty mama we′ll always meet
Right here in my deep purple dreams


(In the night you will come to me)
(In my deep purple dreams)
(In the night you will come to me...)
