Billie Holiday – Violets for your furs
It was winter in Manhattan
Falling snowflakes 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 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 a feeling 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
Your smile left me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day you bought me violets for my furs
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day that you brought me violets for my furs
Billie Holiday-For All we know (with lyrics)
