|
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 |
