Blue Moon
From Loneliness to Love: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale in Conway Twitty's 'Blue Moon'
Lyrics
Once upon a time
Reflecting on a past time
Before I took up smiling
Expressing a lack of happiness
I hated the moonlight!
Disliking moonlight, symbolic of darkness
Shadows of the night
Night's shadows that attract poets
That poets find beguiling
Shadows seemed dull without someone
Seemed flat as the moonlight
Comparing life to flat moonlight
With no one to stay up for
Lamenting solitude with no one to stay awake for
I went to sleep at ten
Sleeping early due to lack of purpose
Life was a bitter cup
Life was bitter and unfulfilling
For the saddest of all men
Describing a deep sadness
Once upon a time
Reflecting on a past time
My heart was just an organ
Heart merely a physical organ
My life had no mission
Life lacking purpose or direction
Now that I have you
Having someone gives life meaning
To be as rich as Morgan
Desiring wealth and abundance
Is my one ambition
Expressing a singular ambition
Once I awoke at seven
Waking up early with disdain
Hating the morning light
Disliking the morning light
Now I awake in Heaven
Experiencing bliss and contentment
And all the world's all right
Feeling that everything is now right
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Addressing the "Blue Moon" directly
Without a dream in my heart
Feeling empty without dreams
Without a love of my own
Lacking personal love
Blue moon
Repetition of the "Blue Moon" reference
You knew just what I was there for
Attributing awareness to the moon
You heard me saying a pray'r for
Praying for someone to care for
Someone I really could care for
Expressing a desire for companionship
And then there suddenly appeared before me
A significant person suddenly appears
The only one my arms will ever hold
Declaring exclusive affection
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
Someone asking to be adored
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Witnessing a transformative moment
Blue moon! Now I'm no longer alone
Feeling no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Reiteration of emptiness without dreams
Without a love of my own
Reiteration of lacking personal love
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Repeating the encounter with the "Blue Moon"
Without a dream in my heart
Reiterating emptiness without dreams
Without a love of my own
Reiterating lack of personal love
Blue moon
Repetition of the "Blue Moon" reference
You knew just what I was there for
Attributing awareness to the moon
You heard me saying a prayer for
Repeating a prayer for someone to care for
Someone I really could care for
Expressing a desire for companionship
And then there suddenly appeared before me
A significant person suddenly appears
The only one my arms will ever hold
Declaring exclusive affection
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
Someone asking to be adored
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Witnessing a transformative moment
Blue moon! Now I'm no longer alone
Feeling no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Reiteration of emptiness without dreams
