The Clovers — Blue Velvet

[Verse 1] She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars [Verse 2] She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than May her tender sighs Love was ours [Verse 3] Ours, the love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left Gone was the glow of blue velvet [Verse 4] But in my heart there'll always be Precious and warm the memory Through the years And I still can see blue velvet Through my tears [Outro] She wore blue velvet
