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 reallize 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
