A family of musicians took shelter for the night In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine Rose of Jericho and bougainvillea
This is a lonely life, sorrow is everywhere you turn
And that´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
A trip to the market, a trip into the pearl- Gray morning sunlight that settles over Washington A trip to the market, a trip around the world Where the evening meal is negotiable, if there is one This is a lonely, lonely, lonely life, sorrow is everywhere you turn
And that´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
To prove that I love you, because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast And if I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast Oo-wah oo-wah, doo-wop a doo-wah Summer skies, the stars are falling all along the injured coast
Oo-wah oo-wah, doo-wop a doo-wah Summer skies, the stars are falling
We are standing in the sunlight, the early morning sunlight In the harbor church of St. Cecilia To praise a soul´s returning to the earth To the rose of Jericho and the bougainvillea This is the only life
And that´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That´s worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
To prove that I love you, because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast And if I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast If I have weaknesses, don´t let them blind me now Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast Oo-wah oo-wah, doo wop a doo wah Summer skies, the stars are falling
Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me now All along the injured coast Ooh-wah oow-wah, doo wop a doo wah Summer skies and stars are falling all along the injured coast
