Violets for Your Furs
Winter's Magic Blooms: Violets for Your Furs
Lyrics
It was winter in Manhattan
Setting the scene in Manhattan during winter
Falling snow flakes filled the air
Describing the falling snowflakes in the air
The streets were covered with a film of ice
Streets covered with a layer of ice due to the cold
But a little simple magic
Reference to a simple magic or charm heard about
That I heard about somewhere
Implying hope or a belief in something transformative
Changed the weather all around
Expressing the change in weather due to the perceived magic
Just within a thrice
Indicating a rapid transformation within a short time
I bought you violets for your furs
Purchase of violets as a romantic gesture
And it was Spring for a while, remember
Associating the gift with the arrival of Spring, a metaphor for happiness
I bought you violets for your furs
Reiteration of buying violets and the subsequent positive change
And there was April in that December
Symbolizing a shift from winter to a brighter, happier time
The snow drifted down on the flowers
Visual imagery of snow falling on the flowers
And it melted where it lay
Depiction of snow melting on the flowers
The snow looked like dew and the blossoms
Comparing snow to dew and flowers to a summer day
As on a summer day
Highlighting the beauty despite the wintry conditions
I bought you violets for your furs
Repetition of the gesture of gifting violets
And there was blue in the wintry sky
Noting the presence of blue in the wintry sky, signifying hope
Then you pinned my violets to your furs
Recipient pinning the violets, attracting attention from passersby
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by
Implication of pride or joy in displaying the gift
You smiled at me so sweetly
Recipient's sweet smile in response to the gesture
Since then one thought occurs
Realization of falling completely in love since that moment
That we fell in love completely
Reflection on the depth of the love sparked by the violets
The day I bought you violets for your furs
Signifying the pivotal day when love began with the gift of violets
