Blue Moon
J. Spencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics to J. Spencer's "Blue Moon" convey a sense of longing and loneliness that ultimately lead to a moment of hope and happiness. The first verse describes the singer as standing alone with "without a dream in my heart / without a love of my own." This suggests that he is feeling lost and unfulfilled, perhaps even hopeless. However, the second verse reveals that he is actually there praying for someone to care for, suggesting that he is seeking love and companionship.
The turning point of the song comes in the third verse, when the singer's dream comes true: "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!" This moment is both joyful and surreal, suggesting that love can transform even the most ordinary experiences into something magical. Finally, the chorus repeats the refrain "Blue moon!" but with a twist: "Now I'm no longer alone / without a dream in my heart / without a love of my own." This implies that the singer has found what he was looking for and is now fulfilled in a way that he was not before.
Overall, "Blue Moon" is a poignant reflection on the power of love to transform our lives and bring us happiness. The song uses simple but evocative language to paint a vivid picture of loneliness and hope, ultimately culminating in a moment of pure joy and wonder.
