Blue Gardenia (From "Blue Gardenia")

Blue gardenia

Now I'm alone with you

And I am oh-so blue

She has tossed us aside

And, like you, gardenia

Once I was near her heart

After the teardrops start

Where are teardrops to hide?I lived for an hour

What more can I tell

Love bloomed like a flower

Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia

Thrown to a passing breeze

But rest in my book

Of memoriesI lived for an hour

What more can I tell?

Love bloomed like a flower

Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia

Thrown to a passing breeze

But rest in my book

Of memories
