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 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

Once upon a time

My heart was just an organ

My life had no mission

Now that I have you

To be as rich as morgan

Is my one ambition

Once I awoke at seven

Hating the morning light

Now I awake in heaven

And all the world's all right

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 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 dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

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 saying 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
