THERE'S A NEW STAR IN HEAVEN TONIGHT - RUDOLPH VALENTINO
(J. Kiern Brennan / Jimmy McHugh / Irving Mills)


Vernon Dalhart - 1926
Angelina Marco - 1926





Stars may come and stars may go
Up there in that starry space
But when one falls, God always calls
A star to take its place

There's a new star in Heaven tonight
That will never fade from our sight
There's a new star at home in that far starry dome
Shining down on his loved ones tonight

There's a voice singing "Lead Kindly Light"
With a smile that has made the world bright
Valentino, goodbye, but way up in the sky
There's a new star in Heaven tonight

(Instrumental Break)

Stars may rise, but in my eyes
There shines only one tonight
A jewel rare God wanted there
Within his crown of light

There's a new star in Heaven tonight
That will never fade from our sight
There's a new star at home in that far starry dome
Shining down on his loved ones tonight

There's a voice singing "Lead Kindly Light"
With a smile that has made the world bright
Valentino, goodbye, but way up in the sky
There's a new star in Heaven tonight
