Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Star light
Star bright
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
I have so many wishes to make
But most of all is what I state
So just wonder
That I've been dreaming of
I wish that I can have owe her enough
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the dream I dream tonight

Ooo baby

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
I want a girl who'll be all mine
And wants to say that I'm her guy
Someones sweet that's for sure
I want to be the one she's looking for
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the girl I wish tonight

Ooo baby

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Star light
Star bright
The first star I see tonight




I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
