FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT
Hendricks / Otis / Corso

as recorded by Patti Page
With orchestra conducted by Belford Hendricks
1950's


First star I see tonight,
Wish I may, wish I might
Find the boy that I'm dreamin' of,
The only boy that I'll ever love!

First star I see tonight,
Wish I may, wish I might
Fill his eyes with the lovely scene,
The perfect end to a perfect dream!

Marriage and flowers,
Old shoes and rice showers,
How wonderful that will be!
Please won't you call on,
Or just maybe fall on
That boy, make him notice me!

First star I see tonight,
Wish I may, wish I might
Be the girl in his secret heart!
He doesn't show it,
'Cause he doesn't know it,
So let Cupid shoot that dart!
First star I see tonight.
