She wore blue velvet
Am           D               G
Bluer than velvet was the night
Am                         D               G    D
Softer than satin was the light from the stars

She wore blue velvet
Am          D               G
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Am                          D              Dm    G
Warmer than may her tender sighs, love was ours

Blue velvet,    but in my heart there'll always be
Am                        D                 Dm   G7
Precious and warming memories, through the years
        C                 D                 G
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
