Little soldier under the tree
Play a Christmas song for me
All the house is slumbering deep
But I have secrets I must keep

[Chorus:]
Father Time comes creeping in
We fight back but he will win
If I asked one Christmas wish then it would be
Soldier, could you win back time for me?

Little soldier, tap, tap your beat
I will stand on Daddy's feet
We will dance as if I were ten
Even if it's just pretend

[Chorus]
