THEY WERE ONLY 17
BUT THEY WERE SO
IN LOVE
AND ON A FRIDAY
NIGHT IN AUGUST
WITH THE MOON
ABOVE
HE TOOK THE YOUNG
GIRLS HAND IN HIS
AND LOOKED INTO
HER EYES
HE SAID THERE'S
JUST NO USE
WAITING BE MY WIFE
SHE WHISPERED YES
AND THEN OUT OF
THE SKY
TWO STARS FELL IT
WAS THE KIND OF
MAGIC EVENING
YOUNG LOVERS
KNOW SO WELL
THEY HELD EACH
OTHER TIGHT AND
SWORE TO LOVE
NOBODY ELSE
THEY CLOSED THEIR
EYES AND MADE ONE
WISH THAT NIGHT
AND TWO STARS FELL
BOTH THE FAMILIES
THOUGHT THAT
THEY WOULD NEVER
LAST
EVERYBODY KNEW
THOSE KIDS WERE
MOVING WAY TOO
FAST
AT FIRST IT WASN'T
EASY BUT SOMEHOW
THEY MADE IT
THROUGH
CAUSE WHEN EVER
THEY WEREN'T SURE
JUST WHAT TO DO
THEY REMEMBERED
THAT FIRST NIGHT
WHEN THEY BOTH
KNEW
AND TWO STARS
FELL
FOR MORE THAN
SIXTY YEARS THEY'V
NEVER LEFT EACH
OTHERS SIDE
STILL HOLDING
HANDS LIKE KIDS
THE DAY SHE
FINALLY CLOSED
HER EYES
TIME WENT PASSED
AND THEN AT LAST
ON A CLEAR
NOVEMBER NIGHT
THE LORD REACHED
DOWN FOR HIM AND
ALL AT ONCE FROM
WAY UP HIGH
TWO STARS FELL IT
WASTHE KIND OF
MAGIC EVENING
YOUNG LOVERS
KNOW SO WELL
THEY HELD EACH
OTHER TIGHT AND
SWORE TO LOVE
NOBODY ELSE
THEY CLOSED THEIR
EYES AND MADE ONE
WISH THAT NIGHT
AND TWO STARS
FELL
TWO STARS FELL
