Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S A NEW STAR IN HEAVEN TONIGHT
Thanks, leeneia - I will. Haven't had a chance yet, this morning's walk pulled a muscle in my side - not conducive to working out on guitar!

999, here are the words:

From the sheet music at Baylor University:

THERE’S A NEW STAR IN HEAVEN TONIGHT (RUDOLPH VALENTINO)
Words and music by J. Keirn Brennan, Jimmy McHugh & Irving Mills; ©1926.

1. Stars may come and stars may go
Up there in that starry space,
But when one falls,
God always calls
A star to take its place.

CHORUS: There's a new star in Heaven tonight
That will never fade from our sight.
There's a new star at home
In that far starry dome,
Shining down on his loved ones tonight.
There's a voice singing "Lead Kindly Light,"
With a smile that has made the world bright.
Valentino, goodbye!
But way up in the sky
There's a new star in heaven tonight.

2. Stars may rise, but in my eyes
There shines only one tonight:
A jewel rare,
God wanted there
Within His crown of light.


They don't write songs like that any more.

Cheers, and thank you,
JennieG
