First star i see tonight,
i wish i may, i wish i might
have the wish i wish tonight.
A banker's 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's 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's a wish for a runaway girl
here's 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.
