NCiR’ THROWBACK TUESDAYS

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bell

I submit to your sweet spell

by Joe Váradi

Twinkle, twinkle, little bell
I submit to your sweet spell

When you shine your gleaming white
All in the world seems just right
Little green dot your companion
Finer sight than the Grand Canyon

What a classy congregation —
You two are my validation
Antidote to my frustration
Writer’s block annihilation

But when you stay grey and dark
With no punctuation mark
Not a clap to comfort me
Emptiness is all I see

Twinkle, twinkle, little bell
I submit to your sweet spell

thanks to Amadeus for the original melody
