Once upon a time
before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night
that poets find beguiling
Seemed flat as the noonlight
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
Life was a bitter cup for
the saddest of all men
Blue moon
you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own
Blue moon you knew just
what I was there for
You heard me saying
a prayer for
someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly
appeared before me
The only one my arms
will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper
''Please adore me''
And when I looked the moon
had turned to gold
Blue moon
now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own
And then there suddenly
appeared before me
The only one my arms
will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper
''Please adore me''
And when I looked the moon
had turned to gold
Blue moon
now I'm no longer alone
without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
now I've a girl of my own
