a star fell from heaven right into my arms
a brighter star i know i’ve never seen
then i found out that it was only you with all your charms
who came into my life to fill a dream

a fallen star is what you are
the twinkle in your eyes came from the sky
you must have strayed from the milky way
a fallen star that’s what you are

the heavens must be lonely now that you are mine
i’m sure they’ll miss a star as bright as you
but the stars will send there blessing and brighter they will shine
when they see the dream that’s comin’ true

i was a rover, on land and on sea
’til a good woman’s love made a new man of me
life had no meaning, it was so incomplete
’til a good woman’s love put me back on my feet

still a-roamin’ i go home in the evening and she’s waiting there
and i know that no matter what happens she’ll always care
and when night falls and the moon shines above
i’m a man with a dream and a good woman’s love

i was a rover, on land and on sea
’til a good woman’s love made a new man of me
life had no meaning, it was so incomplete
’til a good woman’s love put me back on my feet

’stead a-roamin’ i go home in the evening and she’s waiting there
and i know that no matter what happens she’ll always care
and when night falls and the moon shines above
i’m a man with a dream and a good woman’s love

i hear a voice callin’
it must be our lord
it’s comin’ from heaven on high
i hear a voice callin’
i’ll gain the reward
in the land where we shall never shall die

the savior has paid a great price for me
he gave his life on calvary
so i’ll follow his footsteps up the narrow way
and be ready to meet him when he calls on that day

he died on the cross
the old rugged cross
that we would be saved from sin and not lost
so i’ll follow his footsteps up the narrow way
and we’ll pay that debt on the great judgement day

i wish to the lord i’d never been born
or died when i was young
i never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes
or heard your lying tongue

all the good times are past and gone
all the good times are o’er
all the good times are past and gone
little darling don’t weep no more

don’t you see that turtle dove
that flies from pine to pine
he’s mourning for his own true love
just like i mourn for mine

come back, come back my own true love
and stay awhile with me
for if ever i’ve had a friend in this world
you’ve been that friend to me

when we were young and we thought we loved each other
but you didn’t love me i guess
for you’ve gone and you’ve found another
everything to you is regret

this morning along about daybreak
you quarreled at me the whole night through
i know it’s not too late for your sake dear
but for me i will always be blue

oh i’m weary my darling weary
just to know your love’s gone cold
for without you life will be so dreary
we’ll need each other when we grow old

oh sweetheart be good to our babies
and i want you to teach them to pray
tell them to say a little prayer for their daddy
where he will be no one can say
