Blue Velvet

	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 I still can see blue velvet
	Through my tears
