Catch a falling star br Put it in a jar br Came from outer space br At such a frenzied pace br Meteors have names br When they land on earth br But high up in the sky br We wish as they go by br br Catch a falling star br When it reaches earth br Now that it has landed br And not too hot to hold br Now it's just a lump of rock br Before it travelled far br But for a brief time in flight br It held you in a spell at night br br Catch a falling star br Catch it in your heart br In the sky it fast went by br Falling from heaven to earth br As it finally makes its way br Across your sky at night br Ending here on earth br After its cosmic flight br br Caught a falling star br Found it in my heart br With such fleeting beauty br Before it did depart br Now there is a pathway br Wasn’t there before br Where that star was shining br Before it reached the floor.
