Perry Como – Catch a Falling Star

Posted by Heather On April - 2 - 2009

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 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

Desi Arnaz – Cuban Cabby from Babalu

Desi Arnaz – Cuban Cabby Lyrics

My horse and carriage is for hire, señor.
For just as long as you desire, señorita.
You want to ride…
Forget the mañana and come to Havana with me.
I’m the Cuban cabby. I’m the Cuban cabby.

The taxi drivers drive you frantic, you know.
Hop on my rig it’s more romantic, and so.
You want to ride…
A night full of splendor and you can depend upon me.
I’m the Cuban cabby. And I need dinero (money that is, I’m broke).

The moon is peeping, the shadows creeping
It’s time for riding through the park.
A lovely night for lovers
The same as you two are.

If you like music, I’ll give you music
As we go riding in the dark.
I’ll sing a Spanish love song
To the strains of my guitar.

My horse and carriage has been hired, señor.
For just as long as you desire, señorita.

We’re gonna ride
We’re gonna ride
We’re gonna ride
