~LYRICS~
I Went A-Walking In Every Direction
Looking For Answers Without Any Questions
All That I Wanted Was Something For Nothing
If I Could Find Nothing That Wasn't Worth Something
I, I Can't Go On Pretending
I Needed A Love And It's No Use Defending Myself
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
I Went A-Hoping For Something To Hope For
All That It Got Me Was Nothing To Show For
Looking At Both Sides Without Really Seeing
Having A Status Without Really Being
I, I Can't Go On Pretending
I Needed A Love And It's No Use Defending Myself
Oh - Oh Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
When I Wake Up In The Morning Had I Really Been Asleep Last Night?
Oh Had It Only Been A Dream?
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
It's Only A Dream
Amber Velvet They Call Her
(Amber Velvet)
Amber Velvet They Call Her
(Amber, Amber Velvet)
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
(She's A Beautiful, Beautiful Girl)
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl

{This song was released on the B-side of a single, with "West Virginia" on the A-side.}

[Diofan1952]

sweet Ronnie...always exciting.

[VisceralSTH]

This one is very hooky. I can see how it would have been a hit.

[LASTINLIVE]

[environick]

[dnt4get2takeabreath]

i like listening to songs like this old, and then heaven and hell... its so much change, but his voice is still just as good! R.I.P. Dio <3

[guizmodog]

Rest in peace Ronnie James DIO. Really Great Stuff and much love for the man

[Viznel137]

the engineer was jerry samuels-wasnt that napoleon XIV?

[Mikelan082]

Sound like the like a cross between the Monkees and The Grassroots.

[uofm97]

This so surreal.........Ronnie James Dio as a......(GASP!).........POP SINGER!!!!!!! lol. Very interesting to hear this, considering where his career has taken him, isn't it?

[dsl70]

This was a hit in CT in 1970 Amber Velvet is the A side.

[Runrome]
