First star 
I see tonight, 
I wish I may, 
I wish I might 
Have the wish 
I wish tonight. 
A banker抯 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抯 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抯 a wish for a runaway girl; 
Here抯 a prayer for honky-tonk 
Pearl--- Hope she finds someplace outta this world 
Where she feels at home.
