1923
You found me all alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
With no love of my own.
Blue Moon, I knew your purpose,
I am here to guide you,
I saw your shining heart.
And then you appeared before me,
Mending and polishing my wood,
Whispering,'You will sail again,
Blue Moon, you will sail again'.
I looked, and my blues turned to gold,
You set me free once more,
I, Blue Moon,
Am no longer alone.
Lovely lines
Hold the old lady steady!
