lyrics

Baby you’re a shooting star
With me for only a moment
And now you’re gone
Baby you’re a shooting star
My good fortune to have been there
As you passed through me
Threw me

Chorus:
I would have liked you to stay
but I don’t have no reins on you
I would have liked you to stay
but love’s a mist I’ve never understood
I would have liked you to stay
but you shone brightly
and then you went away

Baby you’re a wild eyed pony
brown and dancing
pausing briefly to take the sugar from my hand
Everybody wants a pony
but you got to run
where your restless heart demands
but didn’t we have fun
dancing
In the mist that rose before the dawn

(Chorus)

Baby you’re a shooting star
Can’t be still for nobody
But brighter than the other stars by far
Baby you’re a shooting star
Let me let go
Appreciate the show
Know that I’ve been blessed
By the light of a star in distress
And walk on
