Blue Velvet

She wore blue velvet

Bluer than velvet was the night

Softer than satin was the light

From her eyes

She wore blue velvet

And as the night danced slowly by

Warmer than May her tender sighs

Love was ours

Ours a love we held tightly

Feeling this rapture grow

Like a flame burning brightly

But when she'd gone, gone was the glow

Of blue velvet

And 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

I still can see blue velvet

Through my tears
