People I have known
The ones who come and go
That keep us in the thoughts
The ones you never let go.
When did they ever know?

Shooting stars, shooting stars oh oh oh
Shooting stars
That's all they are oh oh oh

Soldiers in the corps
They think about their homes
People on the streets
The strangers in the sheets
Across the skyline goes.

Shooting stars, shooting stars oh oh oh
Shooting stars
That's all they are... oh oh oh

Shooting stars in the night
Disappear in your life
Shooting stars in the sky
Disappear out of sight.

People I have known
The ones who come and go
The things I've held on to
The little things like you
Across the nighttime blue.

Shooting stars, shooting stars oh oh oh
Shooting stars,
That's all they are oh oh oh
Shooting stars, shooting stars oh oh oh
