Blue Moon Over Brooklyn

It was a winters day

When I heard the phone ring

It was my brothers voice

He said come on home

He said mom was dying

He started crying

I felt the pain

I felt that pain

I knew inside I had to get there

I didn't know how

I just had to get there

Why she had to leave this place behind (blue moon)

Knowing that we'd all be hurt

Life is so hard to bear

Tell me what your reasons are for my despair

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

I was all alone

The night I flew home

I was going insane

I felt to blame

My heart was beating

Do you know that feeling?

I didn't want to be late

Lord, hope she'll wait

Why she had to leave this place behind (blue moon)

Knowing that we'd all be hurt

Life is so hard to bear

Tell me what your reasons are for my despair

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

My mama told me,

Son you better shop around

Postman comes once

Lucky if he comes again

You've gotta be nice

Take my advice

It's time to go

Mama, I miss you so

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Never saw such a light shining down on me

It was a blue moon, yeah

Oh-oh, I can't take it baby

Baby, oh what a night

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I'm gonna be sad

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Blue moon over Brooklyn

Blue moon over Brooklyn
