BLUE VELVET

She wore blue vel-vet, 
bluer than vel-vet was the night,
softer  than satin was the  light   from  the stars.____

She wore blue   vel-vet,   
blu-er than velvet were her eyes, 
warmer than May her tender sighs,  
love         was  ours._____

Ours,   a  love   I  held   tight-ly, 
feeling the rapture grow, 
like   a  flame  burning brightly,  but when she left,  
gone was the glow of   blue     vel - vet, 
but  in  my  heart  there'll al-ways  be,
precious and warm, a  memory   through  the years__________
and   I  still   can  see   blue  vel - vet    through   my   tears.
