Blue Moon

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
