When I was pregnant with my first son, I remember having a completely panicked moment that I had forgotten the words to almost every single lullaby. In my momentarily irrational moment, I truly thought I was going to be the worst mother on the planet because I wouldn’t know how to lovingly sing her baby to sleep at night. I did a quick online search and read up on all the classic lullabies and by the time my little boy was born I had a good number of them memorized.
Now it seems like somedays I can’t get these simple songs and melodies out of my head! But if you need a refresher or a full crash course, I’ve created a page with the bulk of the classic lullabies listed here. And just as a sample, here are all the versus to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (did you know that there was more than one verse?).
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkly, 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!
