Blue Velvet and Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights the radio plays real low And takes me back to long ago A sailor boy so far from home At Cubi Point, I felt alone Then Bogart's door swung open wide And a blue velvet dress walked inside [Chorus] If I could live it all once more I'd walk back through that Bogart's door I'd ask you for that dance again And hold you till the music ends You're my comfort, you're my peace The kind of love that never leaves [Verse 2] I saw you there and lost my words My buddy spoke, I barely heard One dance, six months, then down I knelt And told you everything I felt Then in July of 92 Yolanda, I said I do [Chorus] If I could live it all once more I'd walk back through that Bogart's door I'd ask you for that dance again And hold you till the music ends You're my comfort, you're my peace The kind of love that never leaves [Bridge] Seven deployments, oceans wide Ten Navy years of long goodbyes We had our fights, we had our falls But our love outlasted all [Verse 3] Now the kitchen smells like home Adobo simmering on the stove Pansit, lumpia, fried rice too Every dish says I love you Thirty-four years by your side Yolanda, you're still my bride [Chorus] And if I could live it all once more I'd walk back through that Bogart's door I'd ask you for that dance again And hold you till the music ends You're my comfort, you're my peace The kind of love that never leaves [Outro] Blue velvet and a country song Yolanda, this is where I belong
