One Toy Soldier

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 beat

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)
