She wore blue velvet Ours, a love I held tightly 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 we still can see blue velvet

We might as well be lovers on the sun Let's light it up, let's light it up Until our hearts catch fire And show the world, a burning light They've never shined so bright We're burning up We'll find a way, we'll find a way To keep the cold night From
