Most of my life, is gone
Taken by time, it’s gone
Never before, did I see
He was lookin’ at me, did I see?
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Sits on a shelf watching me grow older
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Laughs every time a year goes by
Why does he stare, at me
He keeps staring at me, can he see?
My end will come, but he’ll stay
They won’t take him away, he’ll stay
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Sits on a shelf watching me grow older
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Laughs every time a year goes by
I got you when I was quite young
Spent time together, yeah we had so much fun
Then I got older and put you on a shelf
Collecting dust, you were all by yourself
Then hatred filled you as you plotted my fate
Something possessed you, a diabolical hate
And now you haunt me nearly all of the time
That’s why they tell me that I’m losing my mind
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Sits on a shelf watching me grow older
The little tin solder
He never gets older
Laughs every time a year goes by
