CATCH A FALLING STAR (by Perry Como)

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 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
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 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
(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day)

For when your troubles start multiplyin’ and they just might
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’
With just a pocketful of starlight

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
(Save it for a rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day

One afternoon, i was watching this old Chinese movie (with English Subtitle.. yahoo bihira ata mangyari na me TV show na me English subtitles hehe.. anyways..) and i was really touched by what i heard from the guy. Corny as it sounds but i cried during one particular scene.

This guy had a cancer, he knew it for almost 3 years and he didn’t tell his wife and children about it until he needs to resign from his work as a famous anchorman. He was scheduled for an operation (that was the time that cancer survival was very slim) so he and his wife were taking a romantic moment at the rooftop of the hospital. Then the husband told his wife that she must not think even for a single moment that he didn’t love her… in fact, he loves her very much that he is taking a chance on this operation so he can live longer… and that she was always on his mind…

The guy died.

YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND
(by Willie Nelson)

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine

If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
