It was a winters day When I heard the phone ring It was my brothers voice He said come on home He said mom was dying He started crying I felt the pain I felt that pain I knew inside I had to get there I didn't know how I just had to get there
Why she had to leave this place behind (blue moon) Knowing that we'd all be hurt Life is so hard to bear Tell me what your reasons are for my despair Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me
I was all alone The night I flew home I was going insane I felt to blame My heart was beating Do you know that feeling? I didn't want to be late Lord, hope she'll wait
My mama told me, Son you better shop around Postman comes once Lucky if he comes again You've gotta be nice Take my advice It's time to go Mama, I miss you so
Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me
It was a blue moon, yeah Oh-oh, I can't take it baby Baby, oh what a night Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'm gonna be sad Blue moon over Brooklyn Blue moon over Brooklyn Blue moon over Brooklyn
