I Wished on the Moon Full Lyrics

Every night was long and gloomy Shadows gathered in the air No one ever listened to me No one wondered did I care Non in all the world to love me Non 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 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, wished on the moon for you
