Lyrics
- The night was dark, the stars refused to shine
Two lovers there were all alone
He started wooing, cooing like a dove
My honey dear, you are my own
She was so shy and bashful as could be
And then would hide her face from him you see
Then he would whisper to her soft and low
Won’t you be my little star
Chorus
Little star, won’t you twinkle, twinkle, twinkle
Just for me tonight
Little star won’t you glimmer, glimmer, glimmer
Show your sweet love light
When you’re gone I’m lonesome as can be
Shine tonight my little star and keep me company
Little star, won’t you twinkle, twinkle, twinkle
For me tonight
- The maiden sighed, and looked into his eyes
And softly said, I love you so
I’ll be your star bright, shining in the sky
To light your way where e’er you go
If you will tell me very truthfully
That you will always good and constant be
And you will never love no one but me
I will be your little star
