[Verse 1]
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
[Verse 2]
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
[Verse 3]
Ours, the love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left
Gone was the glow of blue velvet
[Verse 4]
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm the memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
[Outro]
She wore blue velvet
