Three Stars
===========
w&m: Tommy Dee, 1959

[Chorus]
Look up in the sky,
Up toward the north,
There are three little stars
Brightly shining forth;
They're shining so bright from heaven above;
Gee we're gonna miss you,
Everybody sends their love.

[Verse 1]
On the left stand Ritchie Valens,
A young boy just seventeen,
Just beginning to realize
And explore his teenage dreams.
Why did God call him oh so far away?
Maybe to help some boy or girl
Who might have gone astray.
With his star shining in the dark
On a lonely night to light the path
And show the way, the way that's right.

[Partial Chorus]
Gee we're gonna miss you,
Everybody sends their love.

[Verse 2]
On the right stands Buddy Holly,
With a shy grin upon his face;
Funny how you always seem to notice
That one little curl out of place;
Not many people really knew Buddy,
Or understood how he felt.
But just a song from his lips
Would make the coldest hearts melt.
Buddy's singing for God now, His chorus in the sky.
Buddy holly we'll always remember you
With tears in our eyes.

[Partial Chorus]
Gee we're gonna miss you,
Everybody sends their love.

[Verse 3]
In the middle stands a stout man,
The big Bopper is his name.
Now God has called him,
Perhaps to new fortune and fame.
He wore a big Stetson hat,
And sort of rambled up to the mike.
How can we ever forget those wonderful words:
"You know, what I like!"

[Chorus]
