Twinkle Twinkle
Whispers of Love Under the Stars
Lyrics
Young lover's eyes staring up at the sky
Reflecting on the gaze of a young lover looking at the sky
Twinkle Twinkle little star
Addressing a small, shining star with the familiar nursery rhyme opening
Long summer nights by candle
Describing extended summer evenings illuminated by candlelight
light How I wonder what you are
Expressing curiosity about the nature of the star being observed
Our favorite tree where we could see
Recalling a special tree providing a view of the distant world
cbove the world so far
Highlighting the vantage point above the world
We held on tight your eyes shone bright
Remembering holding onto something precious with bright eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
Comparing the brightness of the eyes to a diamond in the sky
Well, I wish I may
Expressing a wish with the traditional phrase "I wish I may, I wish I might"
and I wish I might
Continuing the expression of a wish, indicating hope
Wish upon that star tonight
Stating the act of making a wish upon the observed star
cnd ask that star
Requesting guidance from the star
to guide you home
Asking the star to lead someone home
So I won't have to be alone
Expressing a desire not to be alone, seeking companionship
I stayed behind while you traveled far
Narrating the experience of staying behind while a loved one travels
Twinkle Twinkle little star
Repeating the familiar nursery rhyme line, addressing the star again
We kept in touch now not so much
Noting a decline in communication over time
How I wonder where you are
Expressing curiosity about the current whereabouts of the distant person
