Johnny Tillotson

Johnny Tillotson (born April 20, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American singer and songwriter. He enjoyed his greatest success in the early 1960s, when he scored 9 top-ten hits on the pop, country and adult contemporary billboard charts including "Poetry In Motion" and the self-penned "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'". He also sang "Yellow Bird", an adaptation of the Haitian song. Johnny's version is quoted as being a favorite of the former head of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, because he and his wife had enjoyed it during their honeymoon. (BBC Interview) more »

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night 
Softer than satin was the light 
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
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
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 I still can see blue velvet through my tears
She wore blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be 
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
