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 moonlight With 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 standing alone Without a dreaming my heart, Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a pray’r 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 dreaming my heart, Without a love of my own
