Violet For Your Furs

Barry Manilow


It was winter 
In Manhattan
Falling snowflakes 
Ffilled the air
The streets 
Were covered 
With a film of ice
But 
A little simple magic 
That I'd heard 
About somewhere
Changed the weather 
All around 
Just within a trice

You bought 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
The snow 
Drifted on the flowers 
And melted where it lay
The snow looked like dew 
On the blossoms
As on a summer day

You bought 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
You smiled at me 
So sweetly
Since 
Then one thought occurs
That we fell 
In love completely
The day you bought me 
Violets for my furs
