| Lyrics: | (D. Parker, R. Rainger)
[Recorded November 30, 1965, Hollywood]
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 |
