The Toy Soldier 가사

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 all right 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 to 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
