Dorothy Parker / Ralph Rainger
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/billie+holiday/i+wished+on+the+moon_20018021.html ]
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
