Twinkling stars are shining clear
Tender, soft, and true.
Go to sleep, my baby dear,
Close your eyes of blue.
Go to sleep, my baby dear,
Close your eyes of blue.

Mama's stars are baby's eyes,
Like the heaven's hue.
Now each eyelid drooping lies
Soft across the blue.
Now each eyelid drooping lies
Soft across the blue.
