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
