blue gardenia

Singer:washington, dinah

blue gardenia

now i'm alone with you

and i am also blue

he has tossed us aside

and like you

gardenia

once i was near his heart

after the tear drops start

where are tear drops 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 pressed

yes

there pressed in my book of memories

i lived for an hour

what more can i tell?

love bloomed like a flower

and then the petals fell

blue gardenia

thrown to a passing breeze

but pressed

in my book of memories

but pressed

in my book of memories
