Merle Haggard – Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star lyrics

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Can you really make a wish come true
And do you shine on just a chosen few

Is it over, have I gone too far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart
And you found an island at sea

I’m still adrift with this pain in my heart
Won’t you send her sweet love back to me

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
