Memories that linger in my heart Memories that make my heart grow cold Maybe we can live again, sweetheart And my 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 The castles we built of dreams together Are the sweetest stories ever told But in my dreams they live again, sweetheart And my 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 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
