twinkling twinkling little star

ponder upon a little star,
wonder if my hand reach far?
up above the sky so high,
are you diamond in the sky?

are you hanging on uptight,
to coy me of my direction?
will you show me more than light,
whisper me the next station?

like a traveler in the dark,
shall we sing to keep me warm?
share with me your tiny spark,
and croon till we break the dawn?

twinkling twinkling little star,
how are wonder where you are?
shall I buy the ticket right,
and be with you for another night?
