Intro

 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
