Lyrics
Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am also blue
He has tossed us aside
And like you, gardenia
Once I was near his heart
After the teardrops start
Where are teardrops to hide?
I lived for an hour
What more can I tell?
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell
Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book of memories
I lived for an hour
What more can I tell?
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell
Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book of memories
But rest in my book of memories
Written by: Bob Russell, Lester Lee
