Chris Clark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"
You twinkle above us, We twinkle below
Good morning starshine, you lead us along
My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song
Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song

Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"
You twinkle above us, We twinkle below
Good morning starshine, You lead us along
My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song
Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song

Singing a song, humming a song, singing a song
Loving a song, laughing a song, sing the song

Sing the song, song the sing
Song, song, song, sing, sing, sing, sing song

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of 'Good Morning Starshine' by Chris Clark are a salutation to the stars. It's almost as if the earth is wishing a good morning to the twinkling stars in the sky. The song expresses the beauty of the starry world, and the fact that the stars are above us and we are below them. The line "you lead us along" could refer to either the stars leading us through life, or to a partner leading us along in a relationship. For the singer, the stars act as a guide, as he and his partner sing their early morning song.

The second verse continues to celebrate the stars, with nonsensical phrases such as "gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo," and "Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo." This verse is full of gibberish, but it adds to the playfulness of the song. The final line of the verse, "early morning singing song," is repeated several times throughout the song. It emphasizes the joy and brightness associated with a new day, which they welcome by singing.

The last verse emphasizes the importance of singing, with a repetition of "sing the song." It highlights how music can bring people together, create joy, laughter, and love. The lyrics may seem simple, but they convey a sense of hope and happiness, making the listener feel good and inspired.
