Dinah Washington - Blue Gardenia

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am also blue

He has tossed us aside
And like you, gardenia
Once I was near his heart

After the tear drops start
Where are tear drops 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, there 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
