Dressed In Violet

Purple is her favorite color

From her hair down to her shoes

She captures every shade of lilac

Plum and periwinkle blue

She is love to everybody

And everybody knows her name

Though most of them will never truly know her

Oh a flame they can't explain

In her mind she's still asleep

Dressed in violet

And all the secrets she could keep

Dressed in violet

Purple is her favorite color

It's the color of her soul

Calm ocean blue and fire red

She a beauty to behold

Like a fine Italian wine

Sip it slow and you will see

Her tannins bitter in their sweetness

True to her complexity

In her mind she's still asleep

Dressed in violet

And all the secrets she will keep

Dressed in violet

With the lights down low

Smiling and dancing

Her eyes aglow

Trying hard to find

Lavender marks she kept inside

And as I'm standing there

Staring in amazement, she's unaware

She inspired me

Purple is her favorite color

It's the color of her heart

While most of us would rather sit in silence

She would rather play a part

You wouldn't know it just to see her

Cuz she protects her memories

Oh she's the bravest one among

And it's weighing heavily

In her mind she's still asleep

Dressed in violet

And all the secrets she will keep

Dressed in violet

Oh baby, you're not sleeping

Dressed in violet

You've given me a reason.
