Blu er than (F)vel vet was (Bb)the night.

Soft er than sa tin was the (F)light

Blu er than (F)vel vet were (Bb)her eyes.

Warm er than May her ten der (F)sighs,

love was (Fm)ours.

Ours a love I held (Ebm7)tight ly

(Dm7)feel ing the rap ture (Bb7)grow

like a flame burn ing (Ebm7)bright ly.

But when (C#m7)she left,

gone was the (F)glow of (Bb)blue

(Dm)vel vet.

But in my (F)heart there’ll (Bb)al ways be

pre cious and warm a mem o (F)ry

through the (Fm)years.

And I (Ebmaj7)still can see blue (Ebm7)vel vet through my (Bb)tears.
