Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
In the mist of a memory
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle
In the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo
The song "Deep Purple" by Bebe Daniels is about a lover who is reminiscing about a past love. The deep purple that falls over sleepy garden walls represents a peaceful, dream-like state in which the lover can remember and feel close to their lost love. The stars twinkling in the night signify a sense of wonder and magic that still exists in the memories. The mist of a memory represents the way in which the mind can blur and distort memories, making them seem both close and distant at the same time.
The lyrics suggest that even though the lover cannot physically be with their lost love, the memories and love will live on forever. The line, "Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams" reinforces this idea that the love between the two will always exist, no matter where life takes them. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that their love will always live on in their dreams.
Overall, "Deep Purple" is a beautiful and melancholic love song that speaks to the deep longing and nostalgia that can come when remembering a past love. It is a tribute to the power of memories and how they can keep a person connected to the ones they love, even when they are no longer physically present.

When the deep purple falls
When the evening sets in and the sky turns purple
Over sleepy garden walls
Covering the walls of gardens that have become peaceful and quiet at night
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
And the stars start to shine brightly in the night sky
In the mist of a memory
In the haze of a distant memory
You wander all back to me
Your thoughts come back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
Recollecting my name with a longing sigh
In the still of the night
When everything becomes still and quiet at night
Once again I hold you tight
I embrace you tightly once again
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
Although you are not here, your love remains with me when light shines
And as long as my heart will beat
And as long as my heart continues to beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
My sweet lover, we will always have each other
Here in my deep purple dreams
In my dreams of the deep purple haze of the night
And as long as my heart will beat
And as long as my heart continues to beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
My sweet lover, we will always find each other
Here in my deep purple dreams
In my dreams of the deep purple haze of the night
