Dorothy Parker / Ralph Rainger



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
