Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 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!
When the blazing sun is gone,
when he nothing shines upon.
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark,
thanks you for your tiny spark.
Could he see which way to go?
If you did not twinkle so?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
while you through my curtains peep.
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are!
