VERSE |
|
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 a bitter cup for |
|
The saddest of all women then. |
|
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. |
|
BRIDGE |
|
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 |
