Blue Moon
Elvis Presley Lyrics

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 pray for
Someone I really could care for

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
Without a love of my own

I remember when this song came out I was a beautiful teenager my best friend Joe was talking to his honey and out side his house I put this record on and played it for them it echoed through the neighborhood that soft lonely night .. Joe died young not to many years after that night . Not a day goes by where I don’t think of him . I miss you friend

Hey Arthur, why was the night lonely?

i love his raw years of of his music i was fortunate to have lived during those years we lived next door to a restaurant that was attached to our one store barber shop changed over to living quarters by owner of the restaurant and we could hear the jukebox playing all evening what memories these old songs bring back to me, there were i guess what they called saturday night fights when people would get drunk and come over to the restaurant area and started fighting and some of the drunks would be pounding on our window or the front door but these fights were clean unlike today the next morning nobody remembered what happened

Thank You too, @robert petersen. I fully agree with @keranu and @Karl Malden's nose. Sorry, for my english, I'm german. The comment and answers touched me. I'm born in 1968 and thankful to grow up in the transition between the (in my opinion) more human days and the crazy, narcissistic modern video & gaming world where young people never learned to communicate, only to live with high-tech. Today, yes, we have electricity and satellites, I remember the old stove in the kitchen of my grand-parents, they worked for Opel/GM motors but they had chicken and a pig in the backyard. Where light is, there is also shadow. Everything has pros and contras. Human life is to find the right way between the extremes. Think we should give the world an insight of how to live grounded without all high-tech. At any time a natural disaster or war could happen, everywhere. Would be nice if also young people know how to survive - without Internet. To learn the minimal basics of humanity and life. Please, more of the amazing old music and life-style.... Elvis Presley was the very first and most famous musician in my life. At the age of 10 or 12 I ride my bicycle with an casette recorder/player in the back through my small village Nauheim and played my first and only double-cassette ELVIS COLLECTON. I still get goose bumps today when I think about it. Funny, ELVIS lived in Bad Nauheim (10 miles away of Frankfurt/Main, in the north ) as he served his military service in Germany. But I grew up in the second Nauheim (1 mile from Frankfurt/Main Airport, south).
Lots of greets, good luck, n bad wishes for the future...from Rüsselsheim, Hesse, Germany

Sinatra bludgeoned this song, though it did include a nice sax solo. If you want the ripest "Blue Moon," head straight for The Marcels. Billy Eckstine's chesty version also recommended.

The way his voice ghosts above the subdued rhythms is simply beautiful - like how Salieri in Amadeus describes the oboe over the "rusty squeeze box" bassoons as a sound of such longing and delight. And the topper is that Elvis had a falsetto as good as anyone's hiding in his back pocket.
