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, the love I held tightly
  Feeling the rapture grow
  Like a flame burning brightly
  But when she left
  Gone was the golw of blue velvet
  
  *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
  
  She wore blue velvet
  
  (Repeat *)
