Intro

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
