Blue Velvet
6 -7 7 8 -7
She wore blue velvet.
-6-7 7 8 -8 -7 -6 6
Bluer than velvet was the night.
-5 6 -6 -8-6
Softer than satin
-5 -4 6 6 -7 -8
was the light from the stars.
6 -7 7 8 -7
She wore blue velvet.
-6 -7 7 8 -8 -7 -6 6
Bluer than velvet were her eyes,
-5 6 -6 -8 -6 -5 -4 6
Warmer than May her tender sighs.
6 -7 -8
Love was ours.
8 8 8 -8 7 -88-8
Ours a love I held tightly,
-8 -8 -8 7 5 6
feeling the rapture grow,
8 8 8 -8 7 -88-8
Like a flame burning brightly,
-8 -7 -8 -7 7 -6 7 6
but then she left, gone was the glow
-7 7 8 -7 -6 -7 7 8
Of blue velvet, precious and warm
-8 -7-6-7 6 -7 -8
a memory through the years.
7 -8 8 7 -5 -5 -5 -8
And I still can see blue velvet
-8 -7 7
through my tears.
