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 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, 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 every loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon for you
I wished on the moon for you
