Blue gardenia

Now I'm alone with you

And I am oh so blue

She has tossed us aside

And like you, gardenia

Once I was near her heart

After the teardrops start

Where are teardrops 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 rest in my book

Of mem-or-ries



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 rest in my book

Of mem-or-ries
