Little Star
Lyrics
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life
My soul
You make my spirit whole
Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Never forget where you come from
From love
You are a treasure to me
You are my star
You breathe
New life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
May the angels protect you
And sadness forget you
Little star
There's no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep
Little star
May goodness surround you
My love I have found you
Little star
Shining bright
You breathe
New life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Flying higher than all the birds in the sky
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget where you come from
From love
Little star
Little star
Little star
From love

Album
Song
Madonna has said in several interviews that during the production of the album she was inspired mostly by the birth of her daughter Lourdes. Drowned World, Nothing Really Matters and Mer Girl all have references to Lola, but Little Star is entirely dedicated to her. Madonna performed a beautiful acoustic rendition of this track at The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1998.
