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 pray’r 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 the moon had turned to gold.
Blue Moon, now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Santa Catalina is a-waitin’ for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Romance, romance, romance

Just like a fool would do madly
Because you held me tight and stole a kiss in the night
