[Verse 1]
Twinkle twinkle
Little me
I have a lovely light
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 come and be with you on Christmas day

[Chorus 1]
Angels brought me where you are
And heaven gave me light
I'm that friendly little star
You wish upon each night

[Chorus 2]
Twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unselfishly
And make a wish come true
I'll always shine for you

[Talking]
Hi kids!
Look out your window
You see that little star way up there?
The one that's all alone
Well that's me
That's right
And this Christmas, I'm coming all the way down
To where you are
Just to light up your Christmas tree
And I hope
To light up your hearts

[Chorus 2]
Well, twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unselfishly
And make a wish come true

[Outro]
I'll always shine for you

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
