Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
'Cause he's my true love
My baby walks back into my arms
'Cause he's my true love
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for
Perhaps in the new sun of May
And then one sad day
You see, I was afraid to let my baby stray
He went away and he died
I only want to say that if there is a way
And on that fateful day
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
I'll keep him beside me, forever from harm
I want my baby back with me
I kept him too tightly by my side
My only one, don't you see?
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
