Lyrics

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

A banker? daughter or a runaway girl
A little lady or a honky-tonk pearl
Has to find someplace in this world
Where she feels at home
A banker? daughter is so hard to deceive;
A little lady is so hard to please
Honky-tonk pearl wears her heart on her sleeve
And her heart will not grow cold

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Here? a wish for a runaway girl;
Here? a prayer for honky-tonk pearl---
Hope she finds someplace outta this world
Where she feels at home

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might..
First star (first star)
I see tonight (i see tonight)
I wish I may, I wish I might..
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
