    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!
