June Christy - The Little Star lyrics

Once upon a time, there was a little star
Who couldn't grow, no matter how he tried
He was just a tiny spark
Sitting in his share of dark
A less determined star might have cried

Other stars were posing for astronomers
Or playing ring of stars around the moon
While they squandered all their light
The little star sat tight
And hoped and wished that
He'd grow bigger soon
One dark night the word came through
Of a special job for a star to do
All the rest were out or tired or dim
And suddenly hе knew it was up to him

Then all the hopеs and wishes
Of a thousand years
Came bursting from the little star and showed
And he traveled through the night
In a magic stream of light
The brightest star the world has ever known

Somewhere in the sky there is a little star
Who can't be seen, no matter how we try
Getting ready to break through
When there's a job to do
The biggest little star in the sky
