Blue Moon 1934

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Oct 2004

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 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.

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 alright.

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.
