Blue Velvet Lyrics
[Intro]
Blue velvet, woah-woah
[Verse 1]
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
Bluer than velvet was the night (Woah-woah-woah)
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
[Verse 2]
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
Bluer than velvet were her eyes (Woah-woah-woah)
Warmer than May, her tender sighs
Love was ours
[Bridge]
Ours, a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of
[Verse 3]
Blue velvet (Woah-woah)
But in my heart there'll always be (Woah-woah-woah)
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
Blue velvet, woah-woah
[Verse 1]
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
Bluer than velvet was the night (Woah-woah-woah)
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
[Verse 2]
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
Bluer than velvet were her eyes (Woah-woah-woah)
Warmer than May, her tender sighs
Love was ours
[Bridge]
Ours, a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of
[Verse 3]
Blue velvet (Woah-woah)
But in my heart there'll always be (Woah-woah-woah)
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
[Verse 4]
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
But in my heart there'll always be (Woah-woah-woah)
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
[Outro]
Blue velvet, ooh
She wore blue velvet (Woah-woah)
But in my heart there'll always be (Woah-woah-woah)
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
[Outro]
Blue velvet, ooh

Genius Annotation
Vinton’s biggest hit topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963. The singer recorded it for the album Blue on Blue, which was composed entirely of songs with the word “blue” in the title and prompted by the success of the title song. While Vinton had wanted to record the song since hearing Tony Bennett’s original version, he did not believe “Blue Velvet” would be a hit. The song experienced new fame in 1986 due to its use in David Lynch’s film Blue Velvet.
