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 

I was in 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
