Capo 4th fret
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 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 we still can see blue velvet
through our tears
Ours, a 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 we still can see blue velvet
through our tears
