Tony Bennett
Bennett was the first to record this famous song, which peaked in the high teens on various Billboard charts after being released in 1951. The song achieved greater fame in Bobby Vinton’s 1963 cover, which topped the charts. Bennett’s version was released as a single, though it would also appear on...
[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
[Bridge]
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
Blue Velvet was written by Bernie Wayne & Lee Morris.
Tony Bennett released Blue Velvet on Fri Sep 21 1951.
