Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are down here..
What are you doing on my father’s coat?
Why are you spoiling my mother’s dress?
No..i don’t want to guess..
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are so dim?
What are you doing with a big black name?
Sewn with a needle and a thread of shame?
Maybe this is just a grown-up’ game?
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Ooh,
Who am I today?
Ooh,
Who was I before?
Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing,
For tomorrow always brings,
Opportunities to begin again
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are
Right here…
Hear my heart beat where you lie
Thunder is rolling in a clear blue sky
No I don’t want to cry!
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Ooh,
Who am I today?
Ooh,
Who was I before?
Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing,
For tomorrow always brings,
Opportunities to begin, again…
She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be carrying six white horses too..
One white horse for every million,
Next she’s coming round for me and you!
Twinkle , twinkle, silent night
All is calm but nothing’s bright down here..
Woe, when a mother and her child
Fear for their lives as they run and hide
I’m trembling inside,
Please let me close my eyes ,
And sleep in heavenly peace…
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are down here..
What are you doing on my father’s coat?
Why are you spoiling my mother’s dress?
No..i don’t want to guess..
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are so dim?
What are you doing with a big black name?
Sewn with a needle and a thread of shame?
Maybe this is just a grown-up’ game?
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Ooh,
Who am I today?
Ooh,
Who was I before?
Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing,
For tomorrow always brings,
Opportunities to begin again
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are
Right here…
Hear my heart beat where you lie
Thunder is rolling in a clear blue sky
No I don’t want to cry!
I’d rather close my eyes,
Like a diamond in the sky…
Ooh,
Who am I today?
Ooh,
Who was I before?
Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing,
For tomorrow always brings,
Opportunities to begin, again…
She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be carrying six white horses too..
One white horse for every million,
Next she’s coming round for me and you!
Twinkle , twinkle, silent night
All is calm but nothing’s bright down here..
Woe, when a mother and her child
Fear for their lives as they run and hide
I’m trembling inside,
Please let me close my eyes ,
And sleep in heavenly peace…
