Once in a Blue Moon lyrics
by Lightnin’ Hopkins
[Verse 1]
Once in a blue moon
Something good comes along
Once in a blue moon
Everything's not going wrong
When you get weary
Beating on the same old gong
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
[Verse 2]
Once every once in a while
Something comes along that feels just right
Once every once in a while
Just like switching on an electric light
And sometimes you try
Till you're blue in the face
But when you get that feeling
Nothing's going to take its place
[Bridge]
Once in a blue moon
There's a thing called happiness
It happens when you're in
A state of natural grace
[Verse 3]
When the wind is blowing
All around the fence
I get that happy feeling
Things start making sense
And you feel so lucky
That you just can't go wrong
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Once in a blue moon
There's a thing called happiness
It happens when you're in
A state of natural grace
[Verse 4]
When the grass is growing
All around the fence
Happy, happy feeling
Everything starts making sense
And you get so lucky
That you can't go wrong
Once in a blue moon
Something comes along
[Outro]
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
Once in a blue moon
Something good comes along
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
