Pearl

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

A bankers daughter
Or a runaway girl
A little lady
Or a honky tonk pearl
Has to find some place
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 sleave
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 the runaway girl
Here's a prayer for honky tonk pearl
Hope she finds someplace out of this world
Where she feels at home

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