| 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 |
