Lyrics:

She wore bl| velvet
Bl|r than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore bl| velvet
Bl|r 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 when she left, gone was the glow of
Bl| velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see bl| velvet
Through my tears
