Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics in 1806.<\/h5> 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 traveler 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, While you thro' my window peep, And you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky, Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! (and here is new verse written by Mr. Joel Hebets)<\/em> Softly shining silver moon, Peeking at me in my room, When you're in the sky at night, The world around me glows so brightly, Softly shining silver moon, If you go, please come back soon. @@@@@@@ Thanks to: http:\/\/kids.niehs.nih.gov\/lyrics\/twinkle.htm <\/embed>");</script>
