Song Lyrics

every night was long and gloomy
shadows gathered in the air
no one ever listened to me
no one wondered, "should I care?"
none in all the world to love me
none to count the stars at night
then the moon came out above me
and I saw that 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 days that would not dance by
I begged on the stars
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

Dorothy Parker, Ralph Rainger
