Lover

Once upon a time 
  Before I took up smiling 
  I hated the moonlight! 
  Shadows of the night 
  That poets find beguiling 
  Seemed flat as the moonlight 
  With no one to stay up for 
  I went to sleep at ten 
  Life was a bitter cup 
  For the saddest of all men 

  Once upon a time 
  My heart was just an organ 
  My life had no mission 
  Now that I have you 
  To be as rich as Morgan 
  Is my one ambition 
  Once I awoke at seven 
  Hating the morning light 
  Now I awake in Heaven 
  And all the world's all right 

  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 pray'r 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 

  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
