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