Golden Slumbers
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, Smiles awake you when you rise. Sleep, pretty baby, do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby.
Cares you know not, therefore sleep, While over you a watch I’ll keep. Sleep, pretty baby, do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby.
Twinkle, Twin kle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark. How could he see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so?
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.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Star Light, S tar Bright
Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.
Flyi ng
I saw the moon,
One windy night,
Flying so fast –
All silvery white –
Over the sky
Like a toy balloon
Loose from its string –
A runaway moon.
The frosty stars
Went racing past,
Chasing her on
Ever so fast.
Then everyone said, “It’s the clouds that fly, And the stars and moon
Stand still in the sky.”
But I don’t mind –
I saw the moon
Sailing away
Like a toy Balloon.
