Blue Moon
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
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 could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
When I looked to the moon it 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.
Without a love of my own, without a love of my own...
