Blue Mode (Take 1)

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 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

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 pray'r 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
