Blue Moon
Grease [Original Soundtrack] Lyrics
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Blue moon
The moon that is colored blue
You saw me standing alone
The singer was standing by himself and someone was watching him do so
Without a dream in my heart
The singer did not have any aspirations or goals
Without a love of my own
The singer did not have a romantic partner
You knew just what I was there for
The person watching the singer knew what he was looking for
You heard me saying a prayer for
The person watching the singer overheard him praying for something
Someone I really could care for
The singer was praying for someone he could truly love
And then suddenly, appeared before me
Out of nowhere, someone showed up in front of the singer
The only one my arms could ever hold
The person who appeared was the only one who the singer could embrace
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
The singer heard someone say "Please love me"
But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold
When the singer looked back at the blue moon, it had turned gold
Now I'm no longer alone
The singer is no longer by himself
Without a dream in my heart
The singer still does not have any aspirations or goals
Without a love of my own
But now the singer has found someone to love
