Blue Velvet

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 we still can see blue velvet
Through our tears

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 we still can see blue velvet
Through our tears
