Once in a Blue Moon Words by Edward Teschemacher Music by Charles Willeby ‘The John Church Company Cincinnati New YorkO little maid, I never thought,an hour Gould be so lovely,as this night in June. "Tis dark— shall I not hold your hand in mine? Once in a blue moon! know a flowery valley past the hill, Where nightingales will be swak’ning soon; They may not singto-morrow, come for once — Just for-once— once in a blue moon! O little maid, then turn your lips to mine, And let us crown this magic night of June. Love flies so quickly, let me kiss you once, Once in a blue moon! So come to me, this wond’rous golden hour, While flowers of youth around our feet are strewn, © speak and say you love me, Just for once— once in a blue moon! B.
