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 noonlight Once, I awoke at 7 Hating the morning light Now I awake in heaven And all the world's all right 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 Then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would 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 Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart
