Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first beatles song
andquot;love me doandquot; i think it was and from there it wouldnand't take long
got himself a guitar, he used to play it every night
now heand's in a rock and roll outfit everything is alright
donand't you know
johnny told his momma andquot;hey momma, iand'm going away
gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star somedayandquot;
momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
johnny said andquot;donand't cry momma smile and wave goodbyeandquot;
donand't you know
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
donand't you know
donand'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, it went straight up to number one
suddenly everyone loved to hear him play his song
watching the world go by surprising it goes so fast
johnny looked around him and said andquot;hey i made the big time at lastandquot;
donand't you know
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
donand't you know
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
and all the world will love you just as long
as long as you are
donand'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
johnnyand's life passed him by like a warm summer day
if you listen to the wind sometimes you can still hear him play
donand't you know
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
donand't you know, donand't you
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
donand't you, donand't you, donand't you, donand't you, donand't you know
donand't you know that you are a shooting star
donand't you, donand't you, donand't you, donand't you, donand't you know
donand't you know you are a shooting, a shooting star
donand't you know you are a shooting star
