Wishing 1910

In the days of fairy tales,
most any wish was granted,
granted by some fairy brave,
Let's suppose a fairy rose
in fairy clothes from head to toes,
and granted us the wish we'd carve.
Would you wish for diamonds, dear,
or would you wish for pearls,
Would you wish to rule the land and sea,
would you wish a crown
to rest upon your golden curls?
The maiden sweetly answered:
"Not for me."

I'd wish for a night in June
a sil'vry moon real soon,
A moon that makes you want to spoon
and softly croon love's tune,
then a tree that I could trust,
a bench that holds just two
then I'd wish for Cupid's loving dish
and then I'd wish for you.

I'd wish for a night in June
a sil'vry moon real soon,
A moon that makes you want to spoon
and softly croon love's tune,
then a tree that I could trust,
a bench that holds just two
then I'd wish for Cupid's loving dish
and then I'd wish for you.

Why should I profess to sigh
for precious pearls and diamonds.
When my ev'ry sigh means you.
All the gold the world may hold
its wealth untold,
I would unfold,
to hold a place that just holds two.
Hold a place that holds a face
that holds a case of bliss.
And that case of bliss would hold you too,
such a place would make me trace
upon your face a kiss.
The fellow answered:
"Here's just what I'd do..."

I'd wish for a night in June
a sil'vry moon real soon,
A moon that makes you want to spoon
and softly croon love's tune,
then a tree that I could trust,
a bench that holds just two
then I'd wish for Cupid's loving dish
and then I'd wish for you.

I'd wish for a night in June
a sil'vry moon real soon,
A moon that makes you want to spoon
and softly croon love's tune,
then a tree that I could trust,
a bench that holds just two
then I'd wish for Cupid's loving dish
and then I'd wish for you.
