Blue Velvet

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

Oh, blue velvet
And as the night danced slowly by
Warmer than May her tender sigh
Love was I

All alone, we held tightly
Giving its rapturous glow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she's gone
Gone, who's to blow?

Oh, blue velvet
And in my heart, there'll always be
Precious and warm her memory
Through the years

And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
