You told me all about her
Underneath the shooting stars
How you love her but you leave her
And you can't go very far
Away until you're back again
Starting it all over
And we watched the stars fall from the sky
But we never ran for cover

Chorus:
And I said there goes one
Lighting up the sky
There goes one
Gone so very fast - watch how they fly
There goes one
Lighting up the night
There goes another shooting star
Too late - it's passed you by

The northern summer's cool night air
Made us feel like dancin'
Or maybe it was talk of love
Or stories of romancin'
But when you stopped and looked at me
And you asked me what I thought
I looked above and I searched the stars
And the answer that I got was

Chorus: (twice)

There goes another shooting star
Too late - it's passed you by
Too late
Too late
