Once upon a time, before i took up smiling, i hated the moonlight.
Shadows of the night like the poorest find beguilling
Seems flat as the moonlight.
With no one to stay up for, i went to sleep at 10.
And life was a bitter cup for the saddest of all men.

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 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...
