Etta James - Blue Gardenia Lyrics

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am, oh, so blue
He has tossed us aside

And like you, gardenia
Once I was near his 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 memories

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
Rest in my book of memories

But rest in my book of memories
