Blue Moon

Lorenz Hart / Richard Rodgers

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 to the Moon it 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

リチャード・ロジャースとローレンツ・ハートのコンビの作です。蒼い月の下で、愛人がいないのを嘆いていたところ、突然恋人に出会い、蒼い月が金色に変わったという歌です。

演奏では Clifford Brown With Strings、Kenny Barron のLive at Bradley's。歌ではElla Fitzgeraldの’The Platinum Collection’あたりかな、他にも色々あると思うけど。
