Tunnel vision lights my way Lead a little life today She wore blue velvet Said she can't help it I got baby to pound me I see stars and go weak My baby cries and lays me down In the skies over black Venice I see eyes of a white menace

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

She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than may her tender sighs Love was ours Ours a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow
