"Catch
a Falling Star", written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss, is a song made
famous by Perry Como's hit version, recorded and released in late 1957. It was
Como's last #1 hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard "Most Played by
Jockeys" chart but not in the overall top 100, where it reached #2. It was
the first single to receive a gold record certification, on March 14, 1958. The
song also topped the Australian charts in 1958. The single won Como the 1959 Grammy
Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male. Its melody is based on a theme from Brahms
Academic Festival Overture. The Como version features the Ray Charles Singers,
who sing the refrain as a repeated round.
The
song has been featured in several films, including The Princess Diaries, Love
Actually, Everybody's Fine, and Never Been Kissed. It was often featured in the
TV series Lost, and was most often associated with Claire Littleton and her
baby, Aaron. A musical phrase from the song appears in John Williams's score
for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during the motorcycle
chase through the college.

Catch
a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some
starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some
starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
(Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and 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 start multiplyin’ and they just
might
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’
Whit just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
(Save it for a rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day.
