Magic in the Moonlight - Edney Cain

There is magic in the moonlight
Where the breezes softly sigh;
There is wonder in the whisper
Spoken in your eye.
Night holds ten thousand splendours
For the heart that's light and free!
There is magic in the moonlight,
More than you can see,

Dreams are born of Night's conceiving,
In the morning they'll come true:
All you wish will come to you.

When tonight the moonlight beckons,
Hang your wishes to a star, 
Sow your dreams upon Night's ocean
Stretching near and far;
And when morning comes to wake you
You may find that this is true:
All the things you dreamed you wanted
Will he waiting there for you
