A Star Looks Down Tonight
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
Yes I feel right in this moment she looks down
On you
From angels land, her tender hand
Is caring cause a mother's love will never end
Daddy tell me, what is heaven like
Where is mummy, I wanna hold her tight
A star looks down tonight, shining down and burning bright
Though she's gone away where the angels play
A star looks down tonight, daddy's here and everything's alright
And our love goes on, with a simple song
On and on
Daddy say if I should pray
Could I talk to her and tell her all my secrets
Baby do, if it pleases you
Let your mother know we love her so completely
Daddy, tell me, what is heaven like
Where is mummy, I wanna hold her tight
A star looks down tonight, shining down and burning bright
Though she's gone away where the angels play
A star looks down tonight, daddy's here and everything's alright
And our love goes on, with a simple song
On and on
Though she's gone away, where the angels play
A star looks down tonight, daddy's here and everything's alright
And our love goes on, with a simple song
On and on
