Another Falling Star [4.36]

Music & Lyrics by Peter Cincotti - John Bettis

It was high July
Another Summer
On the boardwalk
His skin was brown
As a rosary bead
The year before

He was everybody’s hero
But he was losing ground
And gaining speed
He could’ve been a girl
But just one good hand of poker
That could’ve turned
The whole damn thing around
But that July
Something was lost
That never did get found

[Repeat 1]He was the sun
That was waiting to rise
He had the look
Of a king in his eyes
And everything
Everything was possible
[Repeat 2] Now he just laughs
And says what the hell
And clings to the secret
That He’ll never tell
But I wish in knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star

Now I get this déjà-vu
And I don’t really like it
With this friend of mine
That can’t get it in his brain
He’s a diamond lost
Inside the stone
He’s a player born
To win the game

But he’s gonna blow it all
The brass rings in his finger
And I gotta watch
As he throws it away
He’s like a summer
That’s rare and right
That no one’s gonna play

[Repeat 1]
Everything is possible
[Repeat 2]

And someone explain it
Cause I don’t know why
Some people live like
They’re waiting to die
And I wish I knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Oh just another falling star
