Look up in the sky Up toward the North There are three new stars Brightly shining forth They're shining so bright From Heaven above Gee, we're gonna miss you Everybody sends their love
On the left stands 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 Through the dark, 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
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 heart melt Buddy's singing for God now In His chorus in the sky Buddy Holly We'll always remember you With tears in our eyes
Gee, we're gonna miss you Everybody sends their love
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 And how can we ever forget Those wonderful words You know what I like
Look up in the sky Up toward the North There are three new stars Brightly shining forth They're shining so bright From Heaven above Gee, we're gonna miss you Everybody sends their love
