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 realise your dreams   Everyone calls me a kid, but you were only seventeen   Now Almighty God has called you, from 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   and kinda outa place   Now, not many people actually knew you or   understood how you felt   But just a song, 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 mike   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
