One Toy Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One toy soldier stands alone
With his drum down by his side
One toy soldier on his own
With his drum to keep the time
He keeps the beet of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He's one small toy for one small boy
But his heart is oh, so blue
Who can mend my broken drum?
Will it be as good as new?
I must play when morning comes
If I don't, what shall I do?
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
While children sleep in dreams so deep
There's a secret he must hide
For he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He wants to sing and hopes to bring
Happy Christmas day to you
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
Someone has come to mend his drum
Now his heart lights up with pride
So he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
When morning comes, he plays his drum
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
