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.
