‘First Star Of The Night’ is the 12th song on Paul McCartney’s 19th solo album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane.

The song was written in Costa Rica during a day off from the Got Back Tour, when heavy rain forced a change of plans.

The first star on the night is always special when you see it. It always gives me a little hope.
