Artist/Band: Amalia Rodrigues
Lyrics for Song: Blue Moon
Lyrics for Album: On Broadway [2005]



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


Blue Moon
