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

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
