Blue Gardenia Songtext

von Dinah Washington

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 memo-ries,
But pressed
In my book of memo-ries.
