Kate sang this song to Aaron when she took him out of the car in LOST Season Five: Whatever Happened, Happened. The first time we heard about the song was in LOST Season One: Raised by Another when Claire asked Aaron’s prospective adoptive parents to promise to sing it to him. She says it’s the song her dad used to sing to her. We also heard “Catch a Falling Star” in LOST Season Two: Maternity Leave when Claire turns on the mobile in the nursery in the hatch where she was held captive.
Perry Como – Catch a Falling Star, 1957.
Perry Como – Catch a Falling Star Lyrics
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 ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away ( Never let it fade away )
Catch a falling star and ( 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 starless night
And 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 ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away ( Never let it fade away )
Catch a falling star and ( 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 start multiplying
And they just might
It’s easy to forget them without trying
With just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away ( Never let it fade away )
Catch a falling star and 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
