Lyrics
Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But some day we’ll live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.Your lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams we’ll live them all again
But my golden moon is just a memory.When my blue moon turns to gold again
And the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You’ll be back within my arms to stay.The castle we built of dreams together
Was the sweetest stories ever told
You know maybe we could live them all again
Dark blue moon again will turn to gold.When my blue moon turns to gold again
And the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You’ll be back within my arms to stay…
