Blue Moon
Torme Mel Lyrics
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 prayer for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could 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
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own, blue moon
The song "Blue Moon" by Torme Mel is a classic love song that speaks of a longing for love and companionship. The song begins with the singer lamenting about standing alone, without any dreams or love in their heart. The title itself, "Blue Moon" suggests a sense of loneliness and emptiness that the singer is feeling. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer's loneliness is about to come to an end. The Blue Moon seems to be a symbolic presence that has heard the singer's prayers for love and a companion. The singer acknowledges that the Blue Moon understands what they are looking for, and the singer's faith and belief in finding someone they can care for is restored.
The lyrics then take a turn as the singer meets someone who they can finally love and hold in their arms. The "whisper" from someone who wants to be adored suggests that the singer finally found someone who reciprocates their feelings. As the song ends, the Blue Moon seems to disappear, symbolizing the end of the singer's loneliness.
"Blue Moon" is a love song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever felt lonely and longed for love. It is a song that reaffirms faith in the possibility of finding love and the belief that things will get better. The presence of the Blue Moon as a symbol of hope and faith adds to the beauty and depth of the song.

He sang a pops concert with my orchestra once. He was an incredible scat singer. He did a number where he pretended to run out of ideas: "Yabba doobie, dibbie... skibby... flooby... uh... say, are there any Be-Bop fans in the audience?"

I remember dad told me about Mel Torme that he's a good one. We were kind of laughing because we were watching Top Secret. Dad passed away two years ago.

I was born in 1962, but I feel like I lived through this period of time. I love Blue Moon and all of the music from the thirties, forties, and beyond.
