When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.

When my blue moon turns to gold again,
And the rainbow turns the clouds away,
But someday they’ll live again, sweetheart,
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

Memories that linger in my heart,
Memories that make my heart grow cold,
Then someday they’ll 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.
You’ll be back within my arms to stay.
