Pocket Full of Starlight

Hi! Yes, it was definitely Perry Como. My grandma was a HUGE Perry Como fan and had a bunch of his records. She used to sing this song all the time. We used to ask her to sing it for us! :-) If you go to Target, there is a display of those compilation cds. I think it's one called crooners and it has this song on it. You could probably get Perry Como albums from Amazon.com, too. Thanks for bringing up some great memories! :-)

PERRY COMO lyrics - "Catch A Falling Star" From www.OldieLyrics.com My dad used to sing this to me when i was little - this brings back lots of happy memorys.. 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' With 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

Try Perry Como. But it is such a famous song that there may well have been various versions of it. I really love that song. I think that it's really sweet that your mother used to sing it. It's definitely a real song. I love a lot of music from that era even though I wasn't even remotely alive yet (my thought is that the version of the song I am thinking of is from much further back than the 60's, though *laugh*) and a lot of those songs were used in a show called Forever Plaid that i went to many times, so you have brought back a really wonderful memory for me. Thank you! ^_^

I also love all those old songs. I'm not old enough really but who cares and I don't care what people think of me when I tell them that I like a certain song; their problem...lol My mom taught me to sing all the old songs when I was growing up; she used to be an opera singer. She had a few of those 12" records as well that I used to play all the time. She even had and gave to me when I was an adult, a whole album full of what they call, 'Gaslight Hits'. Songs like, 'Franky and Johnny were lovers', etc.

hmm i think that i knew this one but well cant think of who was the author or the title :( sorry

It was actually Perry Como and the song was called "Catch a Falling Star". It was released in the late 1950's from memory because I seem to remember that I was still in primary school at the time. Of course in those days we didn't have television, and this one was played on the radio regularly it seemed. I used to sing it to my son sometimes when he was a baby, and it sure did beat "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or at least as far as I was concerned it did make a bit of a change. It was a lovely tune, and even though I am tone deaf, I could recognise it as being soft and suitable for little children. :)

yes I remember the song well and my mom and dad both sang it too they are both gone. It was sung origninally by Perry Como. They sang a lot of old songs like that.

Our teacher in grade three taught us that but I never knew the artist of this song. We had an activity concerning that too, we were asked to draw something regarding this song, I think I drew a little girl in a night gown catching a falling star. But when u asked it here I looked it up apparently its Perry Como's song.

yon should also sing this to your child to continue tradition

beautiful words. An excellent way to remember her. I don't know who is the composer

Im so glad that you posted that! I have been having this song in my head for days and now someone has it. Now I have it downloaded and can hear it any other time I have it in my head!
