Main Title / All This Has Happened Before
The Jud Conlon Chorus and The Mellomen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there

Twinkle, twinkle little star
So I'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead me to the one who loves me
And when you bring him my way
Each time we say "Goodnight"




We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right
