Lyric
She wore blue velvetBluer than velvet was the nightSofter than satin was the lightFrom the starsShe wore blue velvetBluer than velvet were her eyesWarmer than May, her tender sighsLove was oursOurs, a love I held tightlyFeeling the rapture growLike a flame burning brightlyBut when she left gone was the glow ofBlue velvetBut in my heart there’ll always bePrecious and warm a memory through the yearsAnd I still can see blue velvet through my tearsShe wore blue velvetBut in my heart there’ll always bePrecious and warm a memory through the yearsAnd I still can see blue velvet through my tears
