[00:06]soldier
[00:35]not so long ago in a toy room not so far away
[00:39]lived a boy who had so many toys
[00:43]and he didn't know what to do with them all
[00:48]with them all,with them all
[00:53]well his favorite of all the toys 
[00:58]were the tin soldires,the tin soldires
[01:03]and the one that he loved the most 
[01:07]was the one with the missing leg
[01:13]at night the toys would come alive
[01:16]or that's how the story is told
[01:22]and there they met the soldire with the missing leg
[01:26]and the ballerina with the heart of gold
[01:32]at night they would share each other's dreams
[01:36]under the stars shining bright
[01:41]but they were too shy to speak of love
[01:46]to speak of love
[01:50]one day the boy sat him on the window sill
[01:54]to watch for the enemy coming over thehill
[01:58]but when the wind it blew it knocked him into the street
[02:03]and the boys from the town they said
[02:08]won't you look at the one-legged soldier
[02:12]let's stick him ina boat and send him far away
[02:15]'couse I can't find a use for a soldier with a missing leg
[03:23][02:26]and he was lonely,so lonely for a friend
[03:30][02:35]and he was lonely,so lonely for a friend
[02:44]as he floated past a river fat
[02:48]on his homemade boat
[02:53]well the boat began to sink
[02:55]and he sank to the bottom of the river
[02:57]he got swallowed by a fish
[02:59]caught by a fisherman
[03:00]sold to the family of the boy who had the toys
[03:03]and the cook said look at the one-legged soldier
[03:08]it looks just like the one we lost the other day
[03:13]could this be the boy's tin soldier with the missing leg?
[03:57]as he sat on the mantel place to dry from the river
[04:01]the ballerina who held his heart sat at his side
[04:05]and when they got up to dance with each other
[04:10]they fell by the fire blazing bright
[04:14]when he jumped to save her from the flames
[04:19]their bases began to melt into one in the same
[04:23]and now they share each other's destiny
[04:27]together forever they will be
[04:31]and they are no longer lonely for a friend
[04:39]and they are no longer lonely for a friend
[05:07]not so long ago in a toy room not so far away
[05:12]lived a boy who had so many toys
[05:16]and he played with them all
[05:21]with them all,with them all
[05:26]well he had a ballerina and a one-legged soldier
[05:31]stuck together at the base
[05:34]and they share each other's destiny as
[05:40]they sit on top of the mantel place.
