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
