Blue Moon

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 noon light

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 know 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 have a girl of my own
