Blue Moon
Henry Jerome and 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

The blue moon is the only witness of this person's loneliness and despair. The person prays for someone to love and care for, and the blue moon knows their desire. Suddenly, the person meets someone special who appears before them. This person is the only one that the singer would hold in their arms forever. The moon transforms into gold when the person hears a whisper to adore someone. The blue moon has finally given them the love they desired.
