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 a noon light

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 standin' 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 sayin' a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

And then, there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms could 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 could ever hold

I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"

And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon (blue moon)

Now I'm no longer alone (I'm no longer alone)

Without a dream in my heart (without a dream in my heart)

Without a love of my own

Doo-doo-doo, ba-da, da-doo, doo-da, doo-da
