I Like You in Velvet
Capturing Elegance: Unveiling Love in Velvet
Lyrics
There's a girl I simply dote on
Expressing admiration for a girl
She has no single flaw
Highlighting the girl's perceived perfection
A simple skirt and coat on
Describing the girl's simple attire
And a sailor had of straw
Mentioning a sailor hat made of straw as part of her outfit
Yet she looks more splendid
Emphasizing the girl's exceptional beauty
Than all the world today
Comparing her beauty to the entire world
She'll soon be my intended
Hinting at a future romantic commitment
Perhaps that's why I say
Suggesting affection as the reason for the following statement
It's you I love
Directly expressing love for the girl
Not your hat, your frock or your glove
Emphasizing love for the person, not material possessions
I like you in velvet
Expressing preference for the girl in velvet
I love you in plus
Extending love even in less glamorous situations ("plus")
In satin you are just
Describing the girl's appeal in satin
Like your own lovely blush
Comparing her beauty to her own natural blush
You're charming in silk
Complimenting her charm in silk
Or a plain woollen shawl
Noting attractiveness even in simple woollen attire
But you're simply delightful
Stating the girl's charm without any clothing
With nothing on at all
Expressing admiration for the girl's naked beauty
Maybe you'll be in your balldress
Speculating on the girl's attire for a formal event
Or you perhaps I'll find,
Suggesting uncertainty about the girl's outfit
Dressed in your "What'd you call dress?"
Referring to a dress with an uncertain name
You're oh well, never mind
Dismissively stating that details don't matter due to her allure
