Blue Moon

[Intro: Rod Stewart] 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 [Chorus: Rod Stewart] 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 [Post-Chorus: Rod Stewart] And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please, adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold [Chorus: Rod Stewart] Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own [Guitar Interlude: Eric Clapton] [Post-Chorus: Rod Stewart] And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please, adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold [Outro: Rod Stewart] Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Without a love of my own Without a love of my own Now I have a girl of my own
