Billie Holiday — I Wished on the Moon 07-02-1935

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 away 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
