Violets For Your Furs

It was winter in Manhattan

Falling snow flakes filled 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 thrice

I bought you violets for your furs

And it was spring for a while, remember?

I bought you violets for your furs

And there was April in that December

The snow drifted down and the flowers

And that is where it lay

The snow looked like dew on the blossoms

As on a summer day

I bought you violets for your furs

And there was blue in the wintry sky

Then you pinned my violets to your 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 that I bought you violets for your furs
