Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the 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,
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;
He could not 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,
While you thro' my window peep,
And 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 how you shine, small but bright
How I wonder what you are.
I am curious about your nature
Up above the world so high,
You exist high up in the sky above everything else
Like a diamond in the sky.
You twinkle and shine like a rare precious stone
When the blazing sun is gone,
In the absence of the sun's glare
When he nothing shines upon,
When nothing else can light up the dark
Then you show your little light,
You reveal your small but steady shine
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
You glow and sparkle throughout the night
Then the traveler in the dark
A person moving through the darkness
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
Is grateful for your faint light
He could not see which way to go,
Without your light, they would be lost
If you did not twinkle so.
Your bright flicker is of great help
In the dark blue sky you keep,
You continue to light up the dark blue sky
While you thro' my window peep,
As I look out my window, I can see you peeking through
And you never shut your eye,
You never stop shining
Till the sun is in the sky,
Until the sun comes back out
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh how you shine, small but bright
How I wonder what you are!
I am curious about your nature

Nothing better than a little jam session in the great outdoors, especially with these iconic musicians. I'd love to participate in that jam, just to watch the pros at playing their instruments. I saw Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price in Presque Isle, Me. in 2012. It was an awesome concert indeed!
