Bonoff, Karla - Falling Star Lyrics






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

Bonoff, Karla Falling Star Comments
  1. T.... ....

    Oh my heart aches deep inside me oh how I miss you...

  2. B.... ....

    One of the best singer/songwriters of all time and very underrated. People forget the songs she has written.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLblG-XV_X4

  3. S.... C....

    no bells, whistles or big production - just lyrics that engage you, a melody that hurts a little, and chords that take you somewhere - all a great song needs!

  4. J.... L....

    I never tire of this song. So beautiful.

  5. h.... ....

    Thanks so much for posting. I've played this song hundreds of times, and I never get tired of it. She's just the best

    h.... ....

    Sitting thru her concerts - each song is like another sweet, compact, delicious piece of dessert, you never fill up - and then at the end you are CRAVING more Karla! Amazingly consistent year over year......

  6. c.... z....

    Her broken heart breaks mine again and again. Why does love never work out past the point where the two become one entity?

  7. B.... D....

    I'm sorry, you did not deserve the heartache I put you through.

  8. H.... S....

    Like a falling star.....great stuff Karla

  9. T.... W....

    A shame that so many famous modern pop stars who achieved more fame than Karla can’t match her raw talent.

  10. J.... H....

    I was so thrilled to hear her perform this live in 2016 at the Newberry Opera House in SC, where she performed with Jimmy Webb. Her voice is still the same...so moving and emotional. Agree with others..most under-appreciated and unsung artist of all time.

  11. J.... D....

    nobody writes better love songs than Karla...........

  12. C.... H....

    So beautiful, I came here from the Linda Ronstadt version where some people said that they preferred this version and I can understand why. Also a very lovely, heartfelt comment thread --Karla Bonoff fans are nice people :)

    C.... H....

    Linda's version is great but this is sublime!

    C.... H....

    She also wrote and performs All My Life better than Ronstadt as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLblG-XV_X4

  13. J.... ....

    Probably one of the most underrated albums and artists of all time.

    J.... ....

    You are right , I remember hearing this song back in the 70's and well, so beautiful,so sad.

  14. n.... ....

    I bought this album when it came out. I'm surprised it still have grooves on it, I played it so many times. Wonderful album.

  15. M.... M....

    Every time I listen to Karla, I am struck by how angelic her voice is - I am transported to another place (not just back to the 70s,) I still get goose pimples ! ! !

    Been a long time. Favorite albums and the Mann in Philly was icing on the cake. Good stuff.

  20. E.... H....

    This music reminds me that I can't remember so many of the people I used to know.  Her music is so beautiful.  Transports me and speaks to my soul.  Thanks you Karla.

    Breaks my heart. Just too sadly, hauntingly beautiful. Thank you, Karla, for pouring out your soul...for all of us.

    oh my god , this song makes me cry ...I was a teen and heartbroken and this describes everything I felt ......wow ..beautiful and painful ....it gets better..

  40. J.... M....

    This entire album is AMAZING...In my opinion, the greatest debut album I've ever heard. She is such a talent, her writing and voice are truly stellar!

  41. J.... R....

    Much Better than Linda although they sound similar. This song is my favorite! I learned it on guitar. I'm young and I like this music much better than nowadays music :)

  42. R.... M....

    Yes, Folks, this is Karla, not Linda Ronstandt. Linda's version is more vocally forceful than Karla, Karla is more vocally soft than Linda. I absolutely adore this song. Reminds me of High School by the record player in the living room. To an old boy friend who broke my heart.

  43. a.... ....

    Thank for your comment^^

  44. b.... ....

    I haven't picked up the recent live CD, but have everything else except the 2nd Bryndle CD. Karla is such an excellent songwriter and singer! Happy 56th today, 12-27-08!
