Ella Fitzgerald
Blue Moon (Live 1983)
Thank you

Once upon a time, long before I took up smilin'
Thank you, I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night that poets find beguilin’
Are flatter than a June night
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

There suddenly appeared bеfore me
The only onе my arms would enfold
Heard somebody whisper please adore me
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
Suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would enfold
Heard somebody whisper please adore me
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
I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
