That was a song by Perry Como that I used to sing to when I was a kid, about 3 or 4 years old, and amazingly still remember the words, most of them anyway.
“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 star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!”
Even though we didn’t catch any falling stars this morning, we did go out and watch them. We were up at 4am, drove out into the country away from the city lights to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. This annual shower brings meteors from the area around the constellation Perseus, hence the name. While we didn’t lie down in the middle of the road or field, we opened the sunroof and looked up. We may go out again tonight for a second look-see.
