How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky When the blazing sun is gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle, twinkle all the night 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 'Tis your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveller in the dark Though I know not what you are Twinkle, twinkle, little star Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star
