And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Got himself a guitar used to play it every night
Don’t you know, don't you know?
Don’t you know, don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday”
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don’t you know?
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
Johnny made a record went straight up to number one
Johnny told his mama, “Hey, Mama, I'm going away
And everything's all right, don't ya know?
‘Love Me Do’ I think it was
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And said, "Well, I made the big time at last"
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know, don't you know?
Now he's in a rock ‘n’ roll outfit
Momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Don't you know? Yeah, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
As long as you are a shooting star
Johnny looked around him
As long as you are
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny said "Don't cry, Momma, smile and wave goodbye"
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play
Don’t you know? Oh yeah
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And from there it didn't take him long
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Don’t you know? Oh yeah
