About The Song

The Seekers were one of the most popular folk groups of the 1960s, and their song “When the Stars Begin to Fall” is one of their most enduring classics. The song was written by Athol Guy, a member of the group, and it was released on their 1963 album “Introducing the Seekers”.

The song is a simple but beautiful ballad about love and loss. The lyrics tell the story of a young couple who are separated by death. The woman sings of how she will wait for her lover until the stars begin to fall, when they will be reunited in heaven.

The song is notable for its haunting melody and Judith Durham’s angelic vocals. Durham’s voice is perfectly suited to the song’s melancholy tone, and she delivers the lyrics with a sense of longing and loss that is both moving and heartbreaking.

“When the Stars Begin to Fall” was a commercial success for The Seekers. It reached number 12 on the Australian charts and number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics

My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
You will hear the shout of victory
You will hear the shout of victory
You will hear the shout of victory
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
When the stars begin to fall
When the stars begin to fall
