Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
"Blue Moon" is a romantic ballad that was originally written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934. Elvis Presley covered the song in 1956, and his version became a classic. The lyrics are about a man who is standing alone without any dreams or love in his heart. He prays for someone he can care for, and the blue moon is a witness to his loneliness and solitude.
The phrase "Blue Moon" refers to an extra full moon that occurs in a season or month. It is a rare occurrence, and the phrase "once in a blue moon" is often used to describe something that happens infrequently. In the song, the blue moon is a metaphor for the man's loneliness and the rare chance that he might find someone to love.
The lyrics are simple but poignant, and Elvis Presley's rendition is emotional and heartfelt. The song speaks to the universal human desire for love and companionship, and the loneliness that can accompany the search for it. The dreamy melody and the singer's soulful voice make it a classic that is still loved today.

Blue moon
A rare and unexpected event has occurred
You saw me standing alone
You witnessed my loneliness and isolation
Without a dream in my heart
I had no aspirations or hopes for my future
Without a love of my own
I didn't have anyone to love or who loved me
You knew just what I was there for
You understood my purpose and intention
You heard me saying a prayer for
You were aware of my plea and request
Someone I really could care for
I desired a genuine and meaningful connection with another person
You saw me standing alone
You witnessed my loneliness and isolation
Without a dream in my heart
I had no aspirations or hopes for my future
Without a love of my own
I didn't have anyone to love or who loved me

Just imagine it- this was a 19 year old Elvis Presley, recording this at Sun Records in Memphis.
Before the earth shattering fame and all that went with it.
Later in life, He had (reportedly) often told his family and friends that he feared dying and being forgotten.
He could have never known how much of an iconic and enduring legend he would become and remain.
We miss you Elvis.
There was never anyone like you- before or since.
Gone too soon in 1977 at only 42.

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 they 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
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 they suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper
"Please adore me"
And 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

Cette chanson est très romantique.
Elvis Presley avec sa belle voix savait interpréter des chansons qui étaient très variées, comme le rock qui était dynamique et entraînant, les gospels étaient magnifiques, ainsi que les slows, le blues.
De plus, Elvis Presley dansait très bien sur scène.

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
@Halliday7895
My best friend joe died young too 20 years old...riding in the back of a pick up that ran a red light and crashed - but that was in like 2006.
