Eddie Cochran - Three Stars Lyrics

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 realize your dreams
Everyone calls me a kid
But you were only seventeen

Now almighty God has called you
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
Kinda out of place

Now not many people actually knew you
Or understood how you felt
But just a song from, 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 mic
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
