Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars I wore Blue Velvet Bluer than velvet were my eyes Warmer than May my tender sighs Love was ours Ours the love I held tightly Feelings the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when he 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 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
