She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From her eyes

She wore blue velvet
And as the night passed slowly by
Warmer than may her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love we held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she'd gone, gone was the glow of

Blue velvet
And in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warmer memories, through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears

I still can see blue velvet through my tears
