Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet
music & lyric by Lee Morris & Bernie Wayne (right)

She wore blue velvet, bluer than velvet was the night.
Softer than satin was the light from the stars.
She wore blue velvet, bluer than velvet were her eyes.
Warmer than May her tender sighs, love was ours.

Ours, a love I held lightly feeling the rapture grow.
Like a flame burning brightly;
But when she left gone was the glow

Of blue velvet but in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears...
