VERSE

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.
With no one to stay up for,
I went to sleep at ten.
Life was a bitter cup for
The saddest of all women then.

  1. Blue Moon,
    You saw me standing alone,
    Without a dream in my heart
    Without a love of my own.
  2. Blue Moon,
    You knew just what I was there for,
    You heard me saying a prayer for
    Someone I really could care for.

    3. BRIDGE

    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!

  3. Blue Moon,
    Now I'm no longer alone,
    Without a dream in my heart
    Without a love of my own.
