A7(V)
Blue gardenia, now I'm alone with you
And I am also blue - she has tossed us aside.
A7(V)
And like you, gardenia, once I was near her heart
After the teardrops start, where are tear - drops to hide?
Bridge:
I lived for an hour - what more can I tell?
Love bloomed like a flower , then the petals fell.
A7(V)
Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze
But pressed in my book of memories.
