I Wished On The Moon - Billie Holiday
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
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 away
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
Wished on the moon for you
