S*he wore blue, blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than May, her tender sighs Love was our*s She wore blue, blue velvet. That's all I remember from that night. The fading sun shines, shattering down on her, a velvet voice pulls in the sky. S*he wore blue, blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the star*s Soft was the hair of such royalty, and those who met her loved her lies. They dreamed of blue, blue velvet, dreamed of grandeur and starry nights. Beauty turns heads while lush ball gowns sweep  through the door. O*urs, a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left, gone was the glow of Blue velve*t To any other, she is beautiful, not a flaw within their sight. Her gathering gaze did enthrall them all, her voice tied them with a bow. B*ut in my heart there'll always be Precious and warm a memory, through the years And I still can see blue velvet through my tear*s I see a human, a lonely soul in pain, one with sharp hands and wiry hair, and I still see past her velvet, after all these years.   S*he wore 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 tear*s I see my sweet love, simple, wearing blue velvet, and I am the only one who knows.

Blue Velvet
S*he wore blue, blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than May, her tender sighs Love was our*s She wore blue, blue velvet. That's all I remember from that night. The fading sun shines, shattering down on her, a velvet voice pulls in the sky. S*he wore blue, blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the star*s Soft was the hair of such royalty, and those who met her loved her lies. They dreamed of blue, blue velvet, dreamed of grandeur and starry nights. Beauty turns heads while lush ball gowns sweep  through the door. O*urs, a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left, gone was the glow of Blue velve*t To any other, she is beautiful, not a flaw within their sight.

B*ut in my heart there'll always be Precious and warm a memory, through the years And I still can see blue velvet through my tear*s I see a human, a lonely soul in pain, one with sharp hands and wiry hair, and I still see past her velvet, after all these years.   S*he wore 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 tear*s I see my sweet love, simple, wearing blue velvet, and I am the only one who knows.
