"Blue Velvet" is a song by Bobby Vinton, covered by Lana Del Rey. The song depicts a woman who is draped in blue velvet, symbolizing her elegance and glamour. Her blue velvet eyes and tender sighs are juxtaposed with the darkness of the night. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist is in love with this woman, whose love ignites a flame in him. The bridge section of the song suggests that their love was strong and passionate, but when the woman left, the flame died and the love was gone.
