A TRIBUTE TO PERRY COMO
AND HIS GOLDEN VOICE!
(1912 – 2001)

(I – Sample Song) : -
“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, -
On some starless night!
And just in case you feel you must hold
her, -
You will have a pocket full of starlight!
(Repeat refrain …) ”
(II) : -
“Take a wheel as it goes round, round,
round, as it spins along, -
With a happy sound!
As it goes on the ground, ground, ground,
Till it brings you to the one you love! ”
(III)
“Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t let the moon break you heart!
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies, -
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes and keep
your heart for me, -
For someday I will return and you know you
are the only one I love!
Too many nights, too many stars, too many
moons to change your mind!
If I am gone too long, don’t forget for you
belong, -
When the stars come up remember you are
Mine!
Too many miles, too many days, too many
nights to be alone!
O please keep your heart, while we are apart, -
Don’t you linger in the moonlight when I am
gone! (Repeat refrain…) ”

ABOVE ARE THREE QUOTATIONS FROM PERRY’S
ORIGINAL SONGS, WHICH YOU CAN HEAR IF YOU
TYPE ON GOOGLE: “PERRY COMO ON YOU TUBE”,
& HERE THEM FREE! Born of Italian–American parents,
near Pittsburgh, on 18 May 1912, after High School, he
opened a barber’s shop, before turning to singing with the
Big Bands! From 1945-1954, dozens of his famous singles
came out! In Mar 1958, ‘Catch A Falling Star..’, quoted above,
became RIAA certified gold record! Won 1958 Grammy Award
in male vocal category! In 1994 recorded his farewell concert in
Dublin! Life time Grammy awarded in 2002! After Bing Crosby,
Perry Como & Frank Sinatra took his place; but Perry developed
His own unique golden voice, which makes me today to pay my
Homage to the unforgettable Perry Como !
