Blue Moon
Georgie Auld & 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

Line by Line Meaning

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
The rare occurrence of a blue moon witnessed me standing by myself


Without a dream in my heart
I lacked any aspirations or goals at that moment


Without a love of my own
I didn't have someone to love or who loved me at that moment


Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
The blue moon was aware of why I was present there


You heard me saying a prayer for
You overheard me making a request to a higher power for


Someone I really could care for
I wanted to find someone who was important to me


And then there suddenly appeared before me
Unexpectedly, someone presented themselves in front of me


The only one my arms will ever hold
The person who would complete me and be my partner forever


I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
I heard someone ask me to love them deeply


And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
When I turned to look, the rare occurrence of a blue moon transformed into something even more special


Blue moon!
The blue moon is now the symbol of my luck changing and finding love


Now I'm no longer alone
I found the person I was searching for


Without a dream in my heart
I no longer lack aspirations or goals


Without a love of my own
I now have someone to love and who loves me back
