'Twas summer time,
the night was fine
boy upon his girl was calling,
'Neath stars above
they made love,
same old bliss.
Boy said: "Here,
Look up, dear,
ev'ry time a star is falling,
just one kiss,
you won't miss
same old kiss.

Oh, you star,
falling star,
fall right down from where you are
Shining, up in the sky
You know that we're watching you,
so twinkle a while
then fall, you see,
then my sweet little honey
might fall for me,
Oh, you won't you fall down,
I dare you to,
You star, you falling star.

Oh, you star,
falling star,
fall right down from where you are
Shining, up in the sky
You know that we're watching you,
so twinkle a while
then fall, you see,
then my sweet little honey
might fall for me,
Oh, you won't you fall down,
I dare you to,
You star, you falling star.

Now some folks say
the light of day
is the only kind of light for wooing.
Others spoon by the moon,
same old flame.
But falling star is better far,
then there's always something doing,
count each one
just for fun,
it's the same old game.

Oh, you star,
falling star,
fall right down from where you are
Shining, up in the sky
You know that we're watching you,
so twinkle a while
then fall, you see,
then my sweet little honey
might fall for me,
Oh, you won't you fall down,
I dare you to,
You star, you falling star.

Oh, you star,
falling star,
fall right down from where you are
Shining, up in the sky
You know that we're watching you,
so twinkle a while
then fall, you see,
then my sweet little honey
might fall for me,
Oh, you won't you fall down,
I dare you to,
You star, you falling star.
