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 realize 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

@koroniskoroneos7639I was 3 yrs old (circa ‘61) when Holly imprinted on my soul.

@cherylbostock9265Eddie’s voice always touches a raw nerve even more so for me as I’m fortunate to know Vince Eager whom he met and made friends with on the fateful tour in the UK

@romancatholicword528February 3rd 1959 Surf Ballroom Iwoa winter dance party, the small plane left the run away and up into the night sky as the snowflakes fell, down came the plane and gone were three magnificent artists. I’m 34 now, but I fell in love with Buddy’s music and Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. So sad that these young men were killed with the pilot.

@joeyragsdale1998Eddie Cochran never got over this tragedy. But tragedy stuck on him as well as he was killed in a car accident a year later at the age of 21

@Shepthebassman91Truly this song is such an emotional tribute! The words and lyrics speak for themselves! Tears come to my eyes just as it must’ve been for Eddie when he wrote this song! How he was able to get through recording, i don’t know! I get a lump in my throat when i think of the fact that Eddie says “that everyone calls me a kid…” and the tragic fact is that he had no idea that he would join them in the kingdom in the sky becoming the fourth star to shine! Rest in Peace to all these men! We truly do miss all four of you and everybody sends their love!

@mattiassvanberg8292You can hear Eddie crack a tear when he sings the verse about Buddy.
