Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Lyrics
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How we wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the glorious sun has set, And the grass with dew is wet, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. When the golden sun doth rise, Fills with shining light the skies, Then you fade away from sight, Shine no more 'till comes the night.
Alternative lyrics for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines up on, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Then the traveller in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark: How could he see where to go, If you did not twinkle so? In the dark blue sky you keep, Often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights a traveller in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle little star.
