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, the 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 the memory

Through the years

And I still can see blue velvet

Through my tears



She wore blue velvet
