- Pearl Lyrics / with translationsFirst 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.
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
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.
