Falling Star

(album: Karla Bonoff - 1977)

Oh my heart aches
Deep inside me
Oh, how I miss you
Will you come back?
Oh, why'd you leave me?
Oh, what can I do?

'Cause every night
I sit here by the phone
You know it rings a lot inside my head
I daydream you're home
I never knew that it would go this far
Come pick me up
I'm going down
Like a falling star

And the clock strikes midnight
And I'm lying here alone
I can't sleep, I hear my heartbeat
Oh, I can't stand the monotone
And every day I have paced the floor
You know it rains a lot inside my heart
But I still ask for more
But now I know that love can leave a scar
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Like a falling star

And when the birds fly south for a while
Oh, I wish that I could go
Someone there might warm this cold heart
Someone there might know
But every day I have paced the floor
You know it rains a lot inside my heart
But I still ask for more
But now I know that love can leave a scar
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Like a falling star
