What we like

  • The smooth tones of Como’s voice caresses us and gives us confidence with a spark of hope and courage through the words 

Soul experience

  • On the days when you are lacking courage or hope you may find reaching deep inside yourself to access what you need.  There you can find that place where love and happiness exists.  If you can’t find it there then you can at least remember the moments where they did exist.  Accessing them through your memory like a pocket full of starlight.  Getting in touch with these feelings give you the courage to move forward whatever challenge you may be facing

To reflect on

  • 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
