Shooting Star
LyricsJohnny was a schoolboyWhen he heard his first Beatles song'Love Me Do' I think it wasAnd from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitarUsed to play every nightNow he's in a rock and roll outfitAnd everything's all rightDon't ya know
Johnny told his mamaHey, Mama, I'm going awayI'm gonna hit the big timeGonna be a big star someday
Momma came to the doorWith a teardrop in her eyeJohnny said "Don't cry Momma,Smile and wave goodbye."
Don't you know
Don't you knowThat you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)Don't you know that you areA shooting starAnd all the world will love youJust as long, as long as you are?
Johnny made a recordWent straight up to number oneSuddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his songWatching the world go bySurprising it goes so fastJohnny looked around himAnd said "Well I made the big time at last."
Don't you knowThat you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)Don't you know that you areA shooting starAnd all the world will love youJust as long, as long as you are?
A shooting star
Don't you knowThat you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)Don't you know that you areA shooting starAnd all the world will love youJust as long, as long as you are?
Johnny died one nightDied in his bedBottle of whiskey, sleeping tabletsBy his head
Johnny's life passed himBy like a warm summer dayIf you listen to the windYou can still hear him play
Don't you know
Don't you knowThat you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)Don't you know that you areA shooting starAnd all the world will love youJust as long, as long as you are?
