This star-counting song encourages children to count backwards from 5 to 1.
Lyrics
5 little stars were out one night gold and silver, shiny and bright.
Up came the sun with morning's light
One little star winked out of sight
4 little stars were out one night gold and silver, shiny and bright.
Up came the sun with morning's light
One little star winked out of sight
3 little stars were out one night gold and silver, shiny and bright.
Up came the sun with morning's light
One little star winked out of sight
2 little stars were out one night gold and silver, shiny and bright.
Up came the sun with morning's light
One little star winked out of sight
1 little star was out one night gold and silver, shiny and bright.
Up came the sun with morning's light
That little star winked out of sight
Hello, day! Goodbye night!
