Lyrics
Catch a Falling Star 2002- Phillip Powell
I was starring out the window with the Tucker Boys one day
We had flown into Memphis on a cold and Icy day
We were looking out at Graceland when one of them turned to say
How did you catch us here on the dark and gloomy day
I said, I know where your going, I know where you been
I know about your families and I know about your sins
He looked at me puzzled, but he didnt turn away
I said, I will catch a falling star before the sun goes down today.. Oh Yea
Chorus:
You got to find your way to Heaven one step each day
Call out to her before she can come your way
Do unto others and stand out in the cold
Sale all your goods, give up all your gold
Find your way to Heaven one step each day
You got to catch a falling star before it dies and goes away Oh Yea
He looked at me with open eyes and asked what should to do ?
Follow your heart son, It knows just what to do
You catch a falling star before Saint Peter comes a calling for you .. Oh Yea
Break:
I was talking to the preacher; he did not have much to say
I said, get your house together, here comes Judgment day
He said, who in the hell are you to tell me what to do
I said, I will catch a falling star before the sun goes down on you
I know where your going, I know where you been
I know about your families and I know about your sins
He looked at me puzzled, but he didnt turn away
I said, I will catch a falling star before the sun goes down today.. Oh Yea
Chorus:
You got to find your way to Heaven one step each day
Call out to her before she can come your way
You got to do unto others and stand out in the cold
Sale all your goods, give up all your gold
Find your way to Heaven one step each day
You got to catch a falling star before it dies and goes away.. Yea
He looked at me with open eyes and asked what should I do ?
Follow your heart brother, It knows just what to do
You catch a falling star before Saint Peter comes a calling for you
Catch that falling star
