I'll Buy You a Star Lyrics

1951 Broadway
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn the Musical - I'll Buy You a Star Lyrics

The song is written by Dorothy Fields and Arthur Schwartz.

JOHNNY NOLAN:
Things may not come through the way you plan.
One more chance is due to every man.
One more chance, that's it!
It's not too late yet,
We'll be living on some grand estate,
Yet, you'll see.

An automobile, so Francie gets some air,
A coat made of sealskin is what my wife will wear.
Sealskin isn't good enough,
Ermine isn't good enough,
Buckets full of diamonds aren't good enough
To show you what you're worth.
There's not enough to do.
There's nothing on this earth
Good enough for you.
I'll have to do my shopping
Up there in the blue.

I'll buy you a star, not just a star,
But the best one in the sky.
You'll have a cloud to sleep on,
A cloud as light as an angel's sigh.

A fine silver chain
Made from the rain
Of a summer afternoon.
I'll buy you a star, my darling,
But I won't rest until I buy the moon!
