Shooting Star lyrics

Lyrics

Johnny was a schoolboy

When he heard his first Beatles song

'Love Me Do' I think it was

And from there it didn't take him long

Got himself a guitar

Used to play every night

Now he's in a rock and roll outfit

And everything's all right

Don't ya know

Johnny told his mama

Hey, Mama, I'm going away

I'm gonna hit the big time

Gonna be a big star someday

Momma came to the door

With a teardrop in her eye

Johnny said "Don't cry Momma,

Smile and wave goodbye."

Don't you know

Don't you know

That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)

Don't you know that you are

A shooting star

And all the world will love you

Just as long, as long as you are?

Johnny made a record

Went straight up to number one

Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song

Watching the world go by

Surprising it goes so fast

Johnny looked around him

And said "Well I made the big time at last."

Don't you know

That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)

Don't you know that you are

A shooting star

And all the world will love you

Just as long, as long as you are?

A shooting star

Don't you know

That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)

Don't you know that you are

A shooting star

And all the world will love you

Just as long, as long as you are?

Johnny died one night

Died in his bed

Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets

By his head

Johnny's life passed him

By like a warm summer day

If you listen to the wind

You can still hear him play

Don't you know

Don't you know

That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)

Don't you know that you are

A shooting star

And all the world will love you

Just as long, as long as you are?
