Lyrics by: 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
Thanks for the historical info. Didn't realize how important this song was. A new era, indeed!
