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
