Blue Moon

VERSE

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 women then

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

BRIDGE

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
