Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 lyrics to Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra's song, Deep Purple, tell a story of a person deeply in love with their significant other who has gone away. They reminisce about the moments they spent together when the night falls and the stars twinkle. The memory of their love haunts them, and they long for the person to come back. They feel their lover's essence around them and call out their name with a sigh.
The chorus is a recollection of the moments they spent together in the still of the night. Even though their lover is gone, they can still feel their love when the light beams or when the moon reflects on the garden walls. They vow that as long as their heart beats, their love will never fade away. Deep Purple represents the dreams and the memories that the person cherishes, and in that state of mind, they are at peace.
In summary, the lyrics of Deep Purple are about the pain of separation and the power of love to transcend time and distance. The person's love is so strong that it can bring back the ghosts of their lover. The purple represents the dream world or the mystical experience that the person has in the absence of their love.

When the deep purple falls
When the dark of the night arrives
Over sleepy garden walls
Covering the quiet gardens
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
And the stars light up the sky
In the mist of a memory
In the haze of a memory
You wander all back to me
You come back to me, wandering in my thoughts
Breathing my name with a sigh
Calling out for me with a deep breath
In the still of the night
When everything is quiet at night
Once again I hold you tight
I hold onto you tightly once more
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
Although you're not here, your love still exists when light shines
And as long as my heart will beat
As long as I am alive
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
My dear lover, we will always be together
Here in my deep purple dreams
Here in my deep, romantic dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
As long as I am alive
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
My dear lover, we will always be together
Here in my deep purple dreams
Here in my deep, romantic dreams
