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 a love I held tightly   Feeling 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.
