(John Phillips) 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.
