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 reallize your dreams

Everyone calls me a kid

But you were only seventeen

Now almighty God has called you

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

Kinda out of place

Now not many people actually knew you

Or understood how you felt

But just a song from just a song

From you could make the coldest heart melt

Well singing for God now

In his chorus in the sky

Buddy holly I'll always remember you

Tears in my eyes

Gee we're gonna miss you

Everybody sends their love

I see a stout man the 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 mic

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
