I Wished On The Moon (1955 "Stay With Me" Version)

by Billie Holiday

Lyrics
Every night was long and gloomy
Shadows gathered in the air
No one ever listened to me
No one wondered did I care

Non in all the world to love me
Non to count the 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 every loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon for you

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 every loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon, wished on the moon for you
