I Wished On The Moon - Cassandra Wilson

Every night was long and gloomy

Shadows gathered in the air

No one ever listened to me

No one wondered did I care

None in all the world to love me

None 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 you
