about

A song Chris Saunders wrote in the late 1960s. He called it Star Song and carried it with him for decades. We performed it live with Chris singing the lead many times. Unfortunately, when the time came to record it, Chris had left this world for the heavens he wrote about so beautifully. We did our best to make him proud.

lyrics

Come with me let’s fly out to the stars
On the way we might just stop on Mars
Cosmic love is really very free
All the Universe in you and me
Ah…it’s tonight
We’ll be shinin’ down with our light
We’ll be light
We’ll be love
We’ll be shinin’ down from above
Come with me let’s fly out to the stars
When we finally make it out to Mars
We’ll be that much closer to the stars
Cosmic love is really very free
All the Universe in you and me
Ah…it’s tonight
We’ll be shinin’ down with our light
We’ll be light
We’ll be love
We’ll be shinin’ down from above
Come with me let’s fly out to the stars
Ah…it’s tonight
We’ll be shinin’ down with our light
We’ll be light
We’ll be love
We’ll be shinin’ down from above
Come with me let’s fly out to the stars
