1. 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 pocket full of star-light.

2. For when your troubles start in multiplying
and they just might.
It's easy to forget them without tryins

With just a pocket full of star-light.

Refrain:
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.
