Disney (Children's) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
Could he see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky





Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
