Her Hair Is Velvet Night

 

 

 

 

 

Her hair is velvet night; her lips put cherries to shame;

Her voice turns sound into wine; her smile, like sunshine after rain;

 

 

But it’s her heart that keeps me satisfied, while others are playin’ around; 

Yes, her hair is velvet night, but it’s her heart where the treasure is found.

 

 

He touch is soft as down; her arms put time out of mind;

Her eyes can sing me to sleep, or teach all the stars to shine;

 

 

But it’s her heart that keeps me satisfied, while others are playin’ around;

Yes, her hair is velvet night, but it’s her heart where the treasure is found.
