Lyrics
[verse]
She wore a gown the color of the night
Soft as a shadow beneath the ballroom light
I held her closer than I'd ever dared
And for one moment I forgot to be scared
[chorus]
Blue velvet, blue velvet
Wrapped around my heart like a memory
Blue velvet, blue velvet
That's how her love will always be to me
[verse]
The music slowed and the room grew still
Her eyes were softer than words could ever spill
I still remember the way she smiled
Like nothing in the world could last that mild
[chorus]
Blue velvet, blue velvet
Wrapped around my heart like a memory
Blue velvet, blue velvet
That's how her love will always be to me
[bridge]
Though she's gone the color still remains
A quiet warmth beneath the aching pains
Every time I close my eyes at night
I see that blue and hold it to the light
[chorus]
Blue velvet, blue velvet
Wrapped around my heart like a memory
Blue velvet, blue velvet
That's how her love will always be to me
