Blue Velvet

A#      Dm
She wore blue velvet
Gm      F       Bb
Bluer than velvet was the night
Cm                F
Softer than satin was the light
              Bb
From the stars

A#      Dm
She wore blue velvet
Gm      F       Bb
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Cm                F
Warmer than May her tender sighs
               Fm
Love was ours

Bb               Gm
Ours, the love I held tightly
F                Fm
Feeling the rapture grow
Bb               Gm
Like a flame burning brightly
F
But when she left
Gm      A#      Dm
Gone was the glow of blue velvet
Gm      F       Bb
*But in my heart there'll always be
Cm                 F
Precious and warm the memory
            Fm
Through the years
Bb                Fm
And I still can see blue velvet
F       Bb
Through my tears

A#      Dm
She wore blue velvet
