My Purple Dream

I climbed the purple mountain
And sailed the satin streams
I picked purple silken flowers
In my purple land of dreams
I rode on a purple charger
A purple plume upon his head
And travelled through the kingdom
In my comfy purple bed

My robe was purple velvet
My slippers matching hue
I wore my hair in ribbons
And they were purple too
I dined from purple plates
Drank lovely purple wine
From purple crystal goblets
So very, very fine

And when the purple night
Returned to morning grey
I simply closed my eyes
And continued on my way
