Blue Moon

Once upon a time,
Before I took up smiling,
I hated the moonlight.
Shadows of the night
That poets find beguiling
Seem flat as the noonlight.

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 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,
Without a love of my own.

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.
