Version 4   



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.


Blue, Blue, 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, Whaaaaa, without a love of my own.


Blue moon, Blue, Whaa Whaa Whaa Whaa Whaa without a love of my own.


Omitted
(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.
