Lullaby Medley Lyrics
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are.
Sleep, baby sleep, thy father
tends the sheep.
Thy mother rocks the
slumber-tree and softly falls
a dream for thee.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Golden slumbers kiss your
eyes.
Smiles awake you when you
rise.
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.
Care you know not, therefore sleep,
while I o 'er you watch do keep.
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.
Lullaby, my pretty one.
Gone the day and set the sun.
Lullaby, my pretty one
and sleep until the morning
and sleep until the morning.
Rock-a-bye baby on the tree
top.
When the wind blows the
cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the
cradle will fall and down
will come baby,
cradle and all.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are.
