A family of musicians took shelter for the night   In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia   Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine   Rose of Jericho and Bougainvillea      This is a lonely life   Sorrows everywhere you turn   And that's worth something   When you think about it   That's worth some money   That's worth something   When you think about it   That is worth some money      A trip to the market   A trip into the pearl gray morning sunlight   That settles over Washington   A trip to the market   A trip around the world   Where the evening meal   Is negotiable, if there is one.      This is a lonely-lone, lonely life   Sorrows everywhere you turn   And that's worth something   When you think about it   That's worth some money   That's worth something   When you think about it   That is worth some money      To prove that I love you   Because I believe in you   Summer skies, stars are falling   All along the injured coast   If I have money   If I have children   Summer skies, stars are falling   All along the injured coast   Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah   Summer skies and stars are falling   All along the injured coast   Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah   Summer skies and the stars are falling   All along the injured coast      We are standing in the sunlight   The early morning sunlight   In the harbor church of St. Cecilia   To praise a soul's returning to the earth   To the rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea      To prove that I love you   Because I believe in you   Summer skies, stars are falling   All along the injured coast   If I have money   If I have children   Summer skies, stars are falling   All along the injured coast      If I have weaknesses   Don't let them blind me now   Summer skies, stars are falling   All along the injured coast   Oo-wah Oo-wah   Doo Wop a Doo Wah   Summer skies, stars are falling   Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me now   All along the injured coast   Ooh-wah Oow-wah   Doo Wop a Doo Wah   Summer skies and stars are falling   All along the injured coast   Ooh-wah Ooh-wah   Doo Wop a Doo Wah
