All takes are available on Master & Session: Sun Recording Sessions.

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 for
Someone I really could care for.


Oooo, ooooo, oooooo, ooooooo
Without a love of my own

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.

Oooooo, oooooo, ooooooo
Without a love of my own

Blue moon...
Bluue, whaaa
Without a love of my own.
Oooooo, ooooooo
mmmmmmm

  • so goddamn haunting and evocative- just plain eerie and simply stunning... maybe my favourite elvis song and in-general easily one of the all-time greatest songs.

  • He really did have an amazing vocal range.

    Great pictures Jackie. A few I haven't seen.

  • Nunca escuché una versión más inquietante y maravillosa de este tema. Elvis siempre lo hace diferente.

    Lo siento, no sé escribir en inglés...
