Wooden Soldier
A Wooden Soldier
And a Doll of Clay~
Were brought together
In the Art Display
Then someone took them~~
Stood them apart
And the Wooden Soldier
Lost the battle for her heart
There came the day to retreat
To the border of heartbreak
Down came the stars~~
He lost his war~~
His world began to shake
And though they both were
A work of art~~
The Wooden Soldier lost the battle
For her heart
Music~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Wooden Soldier
And the Doll of Clay~~
Are like two people
I know today
You are my Dolly~~
And we're apart
And all because I lost the battle
For your heart
And though I had to retreat
To the border of heartbreak~~
It's no disgrace to have to pace
The hurt a love can make
It's not too late now for a new start~~
This Wooden Soldiers' gonna battle
For your heart!
