Story Behind The Song

A comparision of the blueness of the moon to a person's sadness.

Lyrics

BLUE MOON RISIN'
Written by: Howard Delnick

Chorus:
OH, THERE'S A BLUE MOON RISIN', IN THE SKY TONIGHT
HE DON'T SHOW IT BUT HE KNOWS HOW
TO HIDE HIS TEARS 'NEATH A BLANKET OF CLOUDS
OH, BLUE MOON'S CRYIN' RIGHT NOW

Verse:
HE SITS IN THE SKY, LOOKIN' DOWN ON THE WORLD
SADDENED BY THE MANY THINKGS HE SEES
HE AIN'T BLUE FOR NOTHIN', HE'S CRYIN' FOR SOMETHING
LIKE THE MANY LOST LOVES THAT USED TO BE

Chorus:

Verse:
AND I KNOW HOW HE'S FEELIN','CAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE ONCE OR TWICE
I'VE HAD MY BLUE DAYS JUST LIKE HIM
BUT I'M HIDIN' MY TEARS, LIKE THAT OLD BLUE MOON
SOMEDAY BLUE MOON AND I WILL WIN

Verse:
SO WHEN YOU SEE US PASSIN', WITH A TEAR IN OUR EYE
SEND US A SMILE NOW AND THEN
WE AIN'T ASKIN' FOR MUCH, 'CAUSE WE'RE BOTH AN OLD SOFT TOUCH
WE JUST WANNA TURN THE BLUES TO SMILES AGAIN

Chorus:
