The snow drifted down on the flowers
And melted where they lay
The snow looked like dew on the blossoms
As on a summer day

I brought you violets for your furs
And it was spring for a while, remember?
I brought you violets for your furs
And there was April in that December
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurred
That we fell in love completely, oh
The day that I brought you violets for your furs

I brought you violets for your furs
And there was blue in that wintry sky
I pinned the violets to your furs
And yet gave a lift to the crowd passing by
You smiled at me so sweetly
'Til then one thought occurred
That we fell in love completely, oh
On the day that I bought you violets for your furs
