IWished On The Moon

I Wished On The Moon
music by Ralph Rainger
lyric by Dorothy Parker (top-left)

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 ev'ry loveliness, it all came true,
I wished on the moon for you...
