Jane Froman Blue Moon lyrics

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 men

Once upon a time my heart was just an organ
My life had no mission now that I have you
To be as rich as Morgan is my one ambition
Once I awoke at seven hating the morning light
Now I awake in Heaven and all the world's all right

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

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
