Kinky Friedman - Twinkle


Oh, I didn't write this song for fortunes made of money,
I only came along just to sing it to you, honey.
I've dreamed around the bend, I've looked behind the sky,
I've seen the rainbow's end in the twinkle of an eye.
And until the day our stars all arise
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes.

In a window from afar it shines in just like a candle,
The shimmer like a star, it's more than I can handle,
To hold you in the night, to show you what I told you,
To go down by candlelight, to light the world before you.

And until the day our stars all arise,
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes.

And until the day our stars all arise,
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes,




Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes,
Let me shine in your eyes.
