Music Thursday - How Does That Song Go? - Twinkle Twinkle Little ....

For a quick and fun music Thursday I thought I would post something really neat I discovered about a year ago. Many people know the standard verse of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". But one night while up with my son, who was a newborn at the time, I decided to look up the meaning and different versions of this song. I always sang to him the the first verse and didn't know the rest.  I found the lyrics below. They are so sweet, beautiful and special I thought I would share. Hope you enjoy.

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,
How I wonder what you are!
****
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, 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,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
As 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!
