Lyrics:

(Rodgers/Hart)

(feat. Eric Clapton)



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 noonlight

With no one to stay up for I went to sleep at ten

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 know 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



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



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

Without a love of my own

Without a love of my own

Now I have a girl of my own
