Pretty soon the stars will be falling
Pretty soon I said
Pretty soon the sky will be falling
Down upon our heads

Pretty soon the night will be all that we have
And the angels will cry
In the darkness I heard that it softly was said
Better mean your goodbye

In the movies and in the shadows
You've got nothing to fear
But by the bleachers and on the field
Playing time is near

I could stand up and howl like the danger l'm in
And never meet your surprise
Find a way to predict with assurances
And see the calm in your eyes

Pretty soon the stars will be falling
Pretty soon I said
Pretty soon the sky will be pounding
Down upon our heads
