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

When that deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky
Through the mist of a memory
Pretty mama, you wander on 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
Little mama, don't you know that we'll always meet
Right here in my deep purple dreams

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
Pretty mama, we'll always meet
Right here in my deep purple dreams
Deep purple
Come to me in my deep purple (Deep purple)
Deep purple
Come to me in my deep purple (Deep purple)
