Bad Company- Shooting Star (live 1999)
Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was
And from then it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
And everything's alright
Don't you know?
Johnny told his Mama,
"Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away
Gonna hit the big time,
Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama
Smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know?
Yeah......
(Chorus)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved
To hear him sing the song
Watchin' the world go by
Surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said,
"Well, I made the big-time at last"
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
(Chorus)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
(chorus)
Don't you know that You are a shooting star
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Dont you dont you dont you dont you dont you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star

I will think of Eric every time I hear this song now and sing along loud for him.
beautiful tribute :)

wow...
It is very difficult for me to say the words in english, so I'll justo say it in my own language:
Siento mucho que hayas perdido a tu hijo, no es algo que una madre debiera pasar. Las madres nos traen al mundo y nosotras las acompañamos cuando ellas se van. La vida es un viaje de enseñanza y de todo aprendemos algo, seguramente esta experiencia te haga mucho más sabia y esa sabiduría será entregada a tu nieta. Te deseo fuerza, paciencia y coraje. Y a Eric le deseo paz.
nani, I don't read spanish but I think we all know what you are saying. Thank you. Those feelings are universal. Couldn't have said it better myself!
You said that beautifully @ nani, I'm going to translate it so Pat can read it.
"I'm very sorry you lost your son, its not something a mother should have to go thru. Our mothers bring us into this world and we are supposed to be there when they leave it. Life is a trip of teachings and we are supposed to learn something from it, probably this experiance will make wiser and this wisdom you will pass on to your grand daughter. I wish you strenght, patience and courage. For Eric I wish peace."
Nani, I hope you didn't mind me doing this, but I think that Pat will appreciate your thoughts.

oh pat. i feel so bad for you. it is just so sad. i think the only way to stay close to him is to do what you are doing now. post pictures, post his music, write about him. we are all here to share it with you. we all love you. we are all sharing your grief. lots and lots and lots of love.
