Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am oh, so blue
He 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 pressed, yes they're 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 memories
But pressed in my book
Of memories
