"Blue Moon" lyrics
(originally by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart)
(feat. Rufus Wainwright)
Once upon a time, before I took up smiling, I hated the moonlight.
Shadows of the night the poorest find beguiling
Seems flat as the moonlight.
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 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...
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...
Shadows of the night the poorest find beguiling
Seems flat as the moonlight.
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 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...
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...
