This is seriously retro, dating from 1935.
It is my favourite version of the well-known song, and its inclusion in this series was prompted by all the fuss about the recent ‘Blue Moon’ visible around the world. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23752197.watch-rare-super-blue-moon-week/
We saw it last night, and it looked like any other full moon, to be honest.
The song was written in 1934, by the famous team of Rodgers and Hart.
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 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
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
Now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
