She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet
was the night
Softer than satin
was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet
were her eyes
Warmer than May
her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love
I held tightly
Feeling the
rapture grow
Like a flame
burning brightly
But when she left
Gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart
there'll always be
Precious and warm
a memory
through the years
And I still can see
blue velvet
through my tears
She wore blue velvet
But in my heart
there'll always be
Precious and
warm a memory
through the years
And I still can
see blue velvet
through my tears
