Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Lonely traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the dark blue sky you keep
While you through my window peep




And you never shut your eyes
'Til the sun is in the sky

Line by Line Meaning

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Greetings, radiant celestial body


How I wonder what you are
I am curious about your properties


Lonely traveler in the dark
You journey through the endless void alone


Thanks you for your tiny spark
Your small gleam brings me joy


Up above the world so high
You reside beyond the scope of Earth


Like a diamond in the sky
Your radiance is precious and priceless


In the dark blue sky you keep
You remain fixed among the stars


While you through my window peep
I can see you from my humble abode


And you never shut your eyes
You are ever vigilant, never resting


'Til the sun is in the sky
Only when the morning sun arrives do you fade away
