Blue Moon (feat. Rufus Wainwright)

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 the 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 knew just what I was there for

You heard me say 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
