blue velvet

i wore blue velvet

bluer than velvet was the night

softer than satin was the light

from the stars

i wore blue velvet

bluer than velvet were my eyes

warmer than may my tender sighs

love was ours

ours the love i held tightly

feelings the rapture grow

like a flame burning brightly

but when he 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

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
