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.

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.

      -7 -6 6
      Memory  sounds good, too.
