Lyrics
Wish on the moon And look for the gold in a rainbow And you’ll find happy times

You’ll hear a tune That lives in the heart of a bluebird And you’ll find happy times

Though things may look very dark Your dream is not in vain For when do you find the rainbow? Only after rain So wish on the moon And someday it may be tomorrow You will suddenly hear chimes And you’ll have your happy, happy times

So wish on the moon And someday it may be tomorrow You will suddenly hear chimes And you’ll have your happy, happy times.
