Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my hand
Let′s dance around the fireplace
It's cold outside, I know so stay in my embrace
Oh, so, baby
Don′t you go
'Cuz no one has to know, the things we do
I love the way you dance
Around the room

Ooh
So, lay with me on this purple afternoon
Rest your tired eyes, I'll sing a lull–aby
I′d drive all night to see you in the morning light
Oh, my darlin′, cast your tears aside
'Cuz no one has to know, the things we do
Ooh
I love the way you dance
Around the room
Ooh
So stay with me, my darlin′, lay with me

Lay with me on this
This purple afternoon

Overall Meaning

The song "Purple Afternoon" by Paolo Sandejas is a romantic song about spending time with someone special, away from the cold and the world outside. In the first verse, the singer invites his lover to dance around the fireplace, to stay in his embrace and to keep their special time together private. He loves the way she dances around the room and wants her to lay with him on this purple afternoon, to rest her tired eyes and to be comforted by his lullaby. The singer promises to be there for his lover, even if it means driving all night to see her in the morning light, and asks her to cast her tears aside because no one has to know the things they do.
