Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
Life was the bitter cup for
The saddest of all men
[Verse 3]
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
[Verse 4]
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me say a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Written by: Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
