Violets for Your Furs

You brought me violets for my furs And it was spring for a while, remember You brought me violets for my furs And there was April in that December The snow drifted on all the flowers and melted where it lay The snow looked like dew on the blossoms As on a summer's day You brought 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 that you brought 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 --- Violets for Your Furs - Billie Holiday and Ray Ellis Orchestra
