She's fixed in his mind like the picture
G Am D7
He's kept in his wallet for years

The stars are still falling a- bove

And the stars are falling a- bove
C D7 Em Bm
And she isn't one minute old- er

And the ribbon is still in her hair
C D7 Em Bm
And he will still see her danc- ing
Am D7 G
Music just hangs in the air
