I Wished On The Moon

Every night was long and gloomy, shadows gathered in the air

No one ever listened to me, no one wondered did I care

None in all the world to love me, none to count that 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

An April day that would not dance away



I begged of a star to throw me a beam or two

Wished on a star and asked for a dream or two

I looked for ev'ry loveliness, it all came true

I wished on the moon for you
