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 then she left, gone was the glow
Of blue velvet, precious and warm
a memory through the years.
And I still can see blue velvet
through my tears.
Memory sounds good, too.
