While the Sun Sleeps
The sleepy sun has slipped away,
and now the stars sneak out to play.
They fill the sky, they have a ball.
They shine and sparkle, shoot and fall.
They wink and twinkle, taking turns,
then scatter when the sun returns.
and now the stars sneak out to play.
They fill the sky, they have a ball.
They shine and sparkle, shoot and fall.
They wink and twinkle, taking turns,
then scatter when the sun returns.
