Louis Prima - Blue Moon

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

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 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
