Blue Moon

(Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers)



(Spoken)

Once upon a time, before I took up smiling , I hated the moonlight.

Shadows of the night like the poorest find beguilling

Seems flat as the moonlight.

With no one to stay up for, I went to sleep at 10.

And life was a bitter cup for the saddest of all men.



(Sang)

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...
