BLUE MOON
(Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)
(Originally titled "Prayer", it was to have been sung by Jean Harlow in
the film "Hollywood Review Of 1933". This project was cancelled and Hart
wrote new words and changed the title to "The Bad In Every Man". Shirley
Ross sang it in the 1934 film "Manhattan Melodrama". The following year
it became "Blue Moon".)

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
