Lyrics: Johnny Tillotson. Blue Velvet.

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 the love I held tightly feelings 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
