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 feelings 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
