I Wished on the Moon

Every night was long and gloomy

Shadows gather in the air

No one ever listen to me

No one wonder did I care

None in all the world to love me

None to count the stars that hung

Then the moon came out above me

And I saw that it was young



I wished on the moon

For something I never knew

Wished on the moon

For more than I ever knew

A sweeter rose a softer sky

On April day

That would not dance away

I begged of a star

To throw me a beam or two

Wished on the stars

And asked for a dream or two

I looked for every loveliness

It all came true

I wished on the moon for you



I wished on the moon

For something I never knew

Wished on the moon

For more than I ever knew

A sweeter rose a softer sky

On April day

That would not dance away

I begged of a star

To throw me a beam or two

Wished on the stars

And asked for a dream or two

I looked for every loveliness

It all came true

I wished on the moon

Wished on the moon

For you
