Twinkle Twinkle Little Me
Stevie Wonder · Someday at Christmas [1967]
Little me
I have a lonely life
I'm the star
Upon your tree
That makes your christmas bright
Twinkle twinkle little me
I left the milky way
Just so I could be with you on christmas day
Christmas brought me where you are
And heaven gave me life
I'm that friendly little star
You wish upon each night
Twinkle twinkle
Oh, twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I'll always shine on you
Twinkle little me
Twinkle twinkle little me
Ooh, christmas brought me where you are
And heaven gave me life
I'm that friendly star
You wish upon each night
Twinkle twonkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I'll always shine for you
Twinkle little me
I'll always shine for you
Twinkle little me
I'll always shine for you
Twinkle Twinkle Little Me
Stevie Wonder's 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Me' stands as a vibrant reinterpretation of the classic children's rhyme, reimagined within the lush, soulful framework of his 1967 album 'Someday at Christmas.' Departing from the traditional melody, Wonder transforms the familiar words into a complex, jazz-infused composition that showcases his mastery of harmony and rhythm. The track exemplifies his ability to blend playful themes with sophisticated musicality, creating a recording that bridges the gap between whimsical storytelling and serious artistry. Released during a period where he was refining his signature sound, the song remains a testament to his unique voice and his capacity to find depth in simple concepts, making it a standout piece in his extensive catalogue of holiday and seasonal music.
