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
