Blue moon, you saw me standin' 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 sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will 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

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, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Władziu Valentino Liberace(May 16, 1919 – February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer, and actor.  A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, he enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame from the 1950s to 1970s, he was the highest-paid entertainer in the world!

SKU: A0.931049

Composed by John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf. Arranged by Den Tuffin. Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Jazzsounds #6345105. Published by Jazzsounds (A0.931049).

This song is unusual as it consists of 2 x 6 bar sections followed by an 8-bar bridge and a further 6 bars plus a 2-bar coda. It's also unusual because of the non-rhyming lyrics. Performed by many jazz artists including Ella Fitzgerald and Sam Cooke. I have also introduced a key change for the second chorus.  Full version can be heard on Soundcloud.
