Nat King Cole 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 as the noon light

With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep up 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 wake 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
