Shooting Star | |
Paul Rodgers | |
Well Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song 'Love Me Do' I think it was From then it didn't take him long Got himself a guitar Used to play every night Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit And everything's alright Don't you know? Don't you know? Johnny told his Mama "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away I'm gonna hit the big time Gonna be a big star someday" Mama came to the door With a teardrop in her eye Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama 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 that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long Long as you are Well, Johnny made a record Went straight up to number one Suddenly everyone loved To hear him sing the song Watchin' the world go by Surprisin' it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said, "Hey I made the big-time at last, yeah!" Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Shining on forever, somewhere with me Don't you know that you are a shooting star? All the world will love you just as long Long as you are Well Johnny died one night, died in his bed A 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 that you are a shooting star? Don't you know that you are a shooting star? All the world will love you just as long Long as you are |
