Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna' hold her,
You'll have a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star an' (Catch a falling . . .) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! (Never let it fade away!)
Catch a falling star an' (Catch a falling . . .) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! (Save it for a rainy day!)
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
An' just in case you feel you wanta' hold her,
You'll have a pocketful of starlight!
(. . . pocketful of starlight!)
Catch a falling star an' (Catch a falling . . .) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! (Never let it fade away!)
Catch a falling star an' (Catch a falling . . .) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! (Save it for a rainy . . . Save it for a rainy, rainy rainy day!)
For when your troubles startn' multiplyin',
An' they just might!
It's easy to forget them without tryin',
With just a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star an' (Catch a falling . . .) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! (Never let it fade away!)
Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
(Save it for rainy day!) Save it for a rainy day!
