Twinkle
Disneyland Childrens Sing Along Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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

Twinkle twinkle little star
Oh, little star in the sky that sparkles so brightly and constantly
How I wonder what you are
I can't help but ponder on what you truly are and your significance
Up above world so high
You are situated in the sky that is so high up from our world
Like a diamond in the sky
You shine as bright and precious as a diamond
When the blazing sun is gone
When the sun has set and its light has disappeared
When he nothing shines upon
And it no longer provides light for us to see by
Then you show your little light
That is when you radiate your small but constant light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
You continue to twinkle and shine through the entire night
Then the traveler in the dark
A person traveling in the dark, struggling to see
Thanks you for your tiny spark
Is thankful for the light that you provide, no matter how small
Could he see which way to go
Without your light, they would have difficulty seeing where they need to go
If you did not twinkle so
If you did not shine as consistently and brightly as you do
In the dark blue sky you keep
You remain in the dark blue sky
And often through my curtains peep
And sometimes you even peek through my window curtains
For you never shut your eye
You are always shining and never seem to close your eyes
Till the sun is in the sky
Until the sun rises again in the sky
