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
