Lyrics
a porcelain woman who looked just like me
Waiting for someone to come, finally one cold an blustery day
hoping my future would turn out alright
and unlike a child who grows
And unlike a child who grows, i thought it d always be him and me, and unlike a child who grows
he moved away and it left me nonplussed
What was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old, when he unboxed me it stunned me to see, he moved away and it left me nonplussed
I was abandoned up here on the shelf, waiting for someone to come
a porcelain woman who looked just like me
what a thrill to finally
we knew it was love though we d only just met
And i was thoroughly beside myself, have somebody so precious and dear
i was a porcelain soldier dressed toy
a porcelain woman who looked just like me
but as the years passed he thought of himself
this old man found me and took me away
have somebody so precious and dear
She will stay with me come year after year, once long ago i belonged to a boy
Have somebody so precious and dear, waiting for someone to come Is, she will stay with me come year after year
She will stay with me come year after year, what was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old
what was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old
i was abandoned up here on the shelf
Finally one cold an blustery day, and unlike a child who grows, hoping my future would turn out alright
She will stay with me come year after year, we knew it was love though we d only just met
i was abandoned up here on the shelf
Wondering now just where i would go, when he unboxed me it stunned me to see
We knew it was love though we d only just met, but as the years passed he thought of himself The, i was abandoned up here on the shelf
what a thrill to finally
what a thrill to finally
But as the years passed he thought of himself, and i was thoroughly beside myself, life was as perfect as perfect could be
But as the years passed he thought of himself, when i was placed next o her on the shelf
A porcelain woman who looked just like me, finally one cold an blustery day The, but it was clear we completed the set
i was abandoned up here on the shelf
And i was thoroughly beside myself, but it was clear we completed the set, i was delighted and to my surprise
Waiting for someone to come, i caught the very same gleam in her eyes
And i was thoroughly beside myself, have somebody so precious and dear, have somebody so precious and dear
And unlike a child who grows, when i was placed next o her on the shelf
he moved away and it left me nonplussed
we knew it was love though we d only just met
What was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old, i was abandoned up here on the shelf
What was to become of this toy soldier so withered and old, and i was thoroughly beside myself
he moved away and it left me nonplussed
I thought it d always be him and me, i was abandoned up here on the shelf
we knew it was love though we d only just met
Once long ago i belonged to a boy, i was abandoned up here on the shelf
I was delighted and to my surprise, and i was thoroughly beside myself
And i was thoroughly beside myself, life was as perfect as perfect could be The, life was as perfect as perfect could be
i was a porcelain soldier dressed toy
what a thrill to finally
and i was thoroughly beside myself
a porcelain woman who looked just like me
Hoping my future would turn out alright, stuffed in a box without one speck of light Soldier, so old and numb
and i was thoroughly beside myself
Years went on by, hoping my future would turn out alright
What destination awaited, so old and numb The, have somebody so precious and dear
When i was placed next o her on the shelf, i was a porcelain soldier dressed toy The, i caught the very same gleam in her eyes
I was delighted and to my surprise, wondering now just where i would go
and unlike a child who grows
waiting for someone to come
but as the years passed he thought of himself
