She wore blue velvet (bum-bum) Bluer than velvet was the night (bum-bum-bum) Softer than satin was the light From the stars She wore blue velvet (bum-bum) Bluer than velvet were her eyes (bum-bum-bum) Warmer than May her tender sighs Love was ours Ours is 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 (bum-bum) But in my heart there'll always be (bum-bum-bum) Precious and warm, a memory Through the years And I still can see blue velvet Through my tears (oooooh) She wore blue velvet (bum-bum) But in my heart there'll always be (bum-bum-bum) Precious and warm, a memory Through the years And I still can see blue velvet Through my tears (Blue velvet oooooh)
