When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
, twinkle all the night
, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Then the traveller, in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
He'd not know which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye
’Til the sun is in the sky
, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
