Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without love of mine.

Blue Moon,
You knew exactly why I was here
You heard me pray for
Someone I really care about.

And then suddenly appeared in front of me
The only one my arms can hold
I heard someone whisper “Please worship me”
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.

Blue moon,
I’m not alone anymore
Without a dream in my heart
Without love of mine.

Why do Manchester City fans sing Blue Moon?

During the 1980s, clubs began to adopt new songs in the stands as an alternative to traditional chants.

Interestingly, ‘Blue Moon’ first emerged as a chant among Crewe Alexandra supporters before being adopted and personalized by the Blues in recent decades.

Gary James, respected historian of City’s history, said: “I vividly remember hearing it for the first time in the opening match of the 1989-90 season at Liverpool. Until that moment, it had never been sung by fans in previous seasons.

After the game at Anfield, the City fans were held up for a while, and a few guys started singing it as we were leaving the stadium. They made a somewhat melancholy interpretation of it, but it quickly hit the mark. »

Various renditions of ‘Blue Moon’ by artists including Doves, Supra, The Marcels, Sha Na Na and Beady Eye have been performed at the Etihad Stadium.

However, the most memorable and beloved version is undoubtedly the one where the passionate Blues supporters sing the lyrics with unwavering fervor throughout the 90 minutes of the match.

It’s a captivating show of support and loyalty to the club, and one that looks set to continue.
