Blue Moon
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The song Blue Moon by Billy Vaughn describes a person standing alone under a Blue Moon, without a dream or love in their heart. The Blue Moon knew what this person was looking for and heard their prayer for someone to care for. Suddenly, the person's desired love appeared before them and they realized that they no longer had to be alone. As the song progresses, the singer hears a whisper from the person they desire, asking to be adored, and then the moon turns to gold. The song ends with the singer no longer standing alone or without a dream or love in their heart.


The lyrics of Blue Moon can be interpreted as a metaphor for the search for love and companionship. The blue moon, an uncommon occurrence, represents a time where one may feel alone or lost without a purpose or direction. However, the universe and/or fate knows what one desires and will provide opportunities or people that can fulfill those desires, even when one feels like they are praying into the void. It also speaks to the power of love, as the only person the singer's arms will ever hold is the one who appears before them, showing that they truly care for them.
