Oh the moon is shining bright,
As I sit alone at night,
And think of the one I love so true.
Though we're many mlies apart,
She is always in my heart,
And I'll see her when the moon turns to blue.
I recall the night we met,
Oh I never will forget,
The way the blue moon shone in her eyes.
Now her memory lingers still,
And I know it always will,
And I'll see her when the moon's in the sky.
[Chorus]
Once in a blue moon, I'll hold her hand in mine,
And live again the love we once knew,
But the moon is cold and white,
As it shines on me tonight,
And I'll see her once the moon turns to blue.
Though she said we had to part,
She is always in my heart,
And the blue moon reminds me of her yet.
So when the blue moon comes around,
Underneath it I'll be found,
'cause the blue moon won't let me forget.
