She wore blue velvet (whoa whoa)
Bluer than velvet was the night (whoa whoa whoa)
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet (whoa whoa)
Bluer than velvet were her eyes (whoa whoa whoa)
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 (whoa whoa)
But in my heart, there'll always be (whoa whoa whoa)
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
She wore blue velvet (whoa whoa)
But in my heart, there'll always be (whoa whoa whoa)
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
