Twinkle Twinkle Lullaby Freaking Out

Last week I got a phone call from my almost 3 year old nephew about 9pm. He was asking me to sing him a lullaby. Him, his mom, and I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over the phone. Well, to be honest, they sang the song and I fumbled along rather awkwardly trying to remember the words.

I have kind of a weird brain that typically allocates a lot of memory resources to songs and song lyrics. I was surprised that I couldn't remember the lyrics! My nephew wasn't very impressed by his uncles lullaby skills either.

It came down the line that I needed to brush up on my lullaby knowledge. I have been doing research and looking up lyrics. Do you realize how long and hard of a song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is? Well, incase you didn't/don't:

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there's nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep
Through my curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are"

That is not an easy song! I am actually really stressed out about this. What long term impact will occur for him if I can't learn this song and be able to sing it with him? I don't want to be remembered as the uncle that couldn't sing Twinkle Twinkle Little star!!!
