Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Attila Fias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

I’m 15 and it’s still nice it put this one after a stressful day or a restless night

@adamslosslessmusiccollection

I’m glad! I’m going to be buying a vast amount of other Fisher-Price albums so I can have hard backup copies and I can scan their cover artwork. However I do have those same Fisher-Price albums uploaded right now to my channel, they just use wallpaper until I can get the correct covers. So please check those out, too.
