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! ) [ hum in time ]       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!       Music and Lyrics by Lee Pockriss    and Paul Vance
