Soldier Lyrics

Please?

And can you tell me the story of the soldier?

Please?

One more time

Or I'll knock your nose off

Not so long ago in a toy room not so far away

Lived a boy who had so many toys

And he didn't know what to do with them all

With them all, with them all

Well his favorite of all the toys

were the tin soldiers, the tin soldiers

And the one that he loved the most

was the one with the missing leg

At night the toys would come alive

Or that's how the story is told

And there they met the soldier

With the missing leg

And the ballerina with the heart of gold

At night they would share each others dreams

Under the stars shining bright

But they were too shy

To speak of love, to speak of love

One day the boy sat them on the windowsill

To watch for the enemy coming over the hill

But when the wind it blew

It knocked him into the street

And the boys from the town they said

Won't you look at the one legged soldier

Let's stick him in a boat and send him far away

'Cause we can't find a use

For a soldier with a missing leg

And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend

And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend

He was so lonely

Yeah

As he floated past a river rat

On his homemade boat

Well the boat began to sink

And he sank to the bottom of the river

He got swallowed by a fishHanson - Soldier - http://motolyrics.com/hanson/soldier-lyrics.html

Caught by a fisherman

Sold to the family of the boy who had the toys

And the cook said look at the one legged soldier

It looks just like the one we lost the other day

Could this be the boy's tin soldier with the missing leg?

But he was lonely, so lonely for a friend, oh

And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend

He was so lonely, yeah

Oh yeah so lonely, oh yeah

What about the ballarina?

As he sat on the mantle piece to dry from the river

The ballerina who held his heart sat at his side

And when they got up to dance with each other

She fell by the fire blazing bright

When he jumped to save her from the flames

Their bases began to melt into one and the same

And now they share each other's destiny

Together forever they will be

And they are no longer lonely for a friend

And they are no longer lonely for a friend

No longer lonely, yeah

no longer lonely

Whoa whoa

Yeah

Whoa

No longer lonely, yeah

Well not so long ago in a toy room not so far away

Lived a boy who had so many toys

And he played with them all

With them all, with them all

Well he had a ballerina and a one legged soldier

stuck together at the base

And they share each others destiny

as they sit on top of the mantel place

It's the story of the one legged soldier

The story of the one legged soldier

The story of the tin soldier

with the missing leg...
