There are three new stars,
They're shining so bright
Gee, we're gonna miss you
On the left stands Richie Valens,
just beginning to realize
and to explore his teenage dreams.
Why did God call him, so far away?
Maybe to help some boy or girl
who might have gone astray.
With their stars shining through
the dark and lonely night,
to light the path and show the way,
Gee, we're gonna miss you.
To everybody sends her love
On the right stands Buddy Holly
With a shy grin on his face
Funny how he always seemed 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
and his chorus in the sky.
Buddy Holly will always remember you
Gee, we're gonna miss you
everybody sends their love.
In the middle stands a stout man.
The big bopper is his name.
Perhaps to new fortune and fame
He wore a big Stetson hat
And sort of rambled up to the mic
And how can we ever forget
there are three new stars
they're shining so bright
Everybody sends their love
