Three Stars

Look up in the sky, up towards the north

There are three new stars, brightly shining forth

They're shining oh-so bright from heaven above

Gee, we're gonna miss you, everybody sends their love

Ritchie, you were just starting to realise your dreams

Everyone calls me a kid, but you were only seventeen

Now Almighty God has called you, from oh-so far away

Maybe it's to save some boy or girl

Who might have gone astray

And with your star shining through the dark and lonely night

To light the path and show the way, the way that's right

Gee, we're gonna miss you, everybody sends their love

Buddy, I can still see you, with that shy grin on your face

Seems like your hair was always a little messed up

And kinda outa place

Now, not many people actually knew you or

Understood how you felt

But just a song, just a song from you

Could make the coldest heart melt

Well you're singing for God now, in his chorus in the sky

Buddy Holly, I'll always remember you with tears in my eyes

Gee, we're gonna miss you, everybody sends their love

I see a stout man, the Big Bopper's your name

God called you to heaven, maybe for new fortune and fame

Keep wearing that big Stetson hat and ramble up to the mike

And don't forget those wonderful words, you know what I like

Look up in the sky, up towards the north

There are three new stars, brightly shining forth

They' re shining oh—so bright from heaven above

Gee, we're gonna miss you, everybody sends their love
