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?

Love bloomed like a flower Then the petals fell Blue gardenia Thrown to a passing breeze But rest in my book Of memories
