The Toy Soldier |
| Once long ago I belonged to a boy |
| I was a porcelain soldier dressed toy |
| Life was as perfect as perfect could be |
| I thought it’d always be him and me |
| But as the years passed he thought of himself |
| I was abandoned up here on the shelf |
| He moved away and it left me nonplussed |
| Nothing to do but sit and collect dust |
| Years went on by |
| I’d wonder why |
| So old and numb |
| Waiting for someone to come! |
| Finally one cold an blustery day |
| This old man found me and took me away |
| Stuffed in a box without one speck of light |
| Hoping my future would turn out alright |
| Oh, what was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old |
| What destination awaited |
| Wondering now just where I would go |
| When he unboxed me it stunned me to see |
| A porcelain woman who looked just like me |
| I was delighted and to my surprise |
| I caught the very same gleam in her eyes |
| We knew it was love though we’d only just met |
| But it was clear we completed the set |
| And I was thoroughly beside myself |
| When I was placed next o her on the shelf |
| Oh, what a thrill to finally |
| Have somebody so precious and dear |
| And unlike a child who grows |
| She will stay with me come year after year |
