Pink Martini, Rufus Wainwright - Blue Moon

Once upon a time, Before I took up smiling, I hated the moonlight. Shadows of the night That poets find beguiling Seem 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. {Instrumental interlude} 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.
