Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴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 prayer for

Someone I really could care for

And then suddenly, appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold
Whoa, oh, oh

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own


Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue Moon by Grease [Original Soundtrack] tell the story of someone who is standing alone without a dream or love of their own. The blue moon represents a moment of clarity and hope for the singer, who is praying for someone to care for. Suddenly, the person they have been waiting for appears before them and they have found the love they have been searching for. However, like the fleeting moment of the blue moon, this love also disappears as the moon turns to gold. Despite this, the singer is no longer standing alone and has found a dream and love of their own.


The song speaks to the universal human experience of searching for love and meaning in life. The blue moon represents the moments of clarity and hope that we all experience, but also reminds us of how fleeting these moments can be. The singer's search for love and someone to care for is something that most people can relate to, and the sudden appearance of that someone is a testament to the idea that sometimes the things we need most are right in front of us.
