A flower reminds me
Of places we used to walk to
Now the evening finds me
With only a flower to talk to

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am oh so blue
She has cast us aside
And like you gardenia
Once I was near her 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 pressed 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
But pressed in my book of memories
