O little boy Blue, it is Christmas r ou>
Chrntmas .... and candles are burning low
And we. who were boys, an dreaming, too ... .
Of the brave tin soldiers ot long ago
We re dreaming of $tockingt upon the wall.
And happy faces of other years;
And though we are hardened and battU'Worn
There are sometimes eyes that are blurred with tears.
So. lutle boy Blue, if you're ttill asleep.
And have never drifted across the loam
Vou will never know what a man must know.
As he thinks of a place that a boy called home.
Then dream through the years with a steadfast heart,
That men are faithful and life is sweet;
And Cod be thanked you will never feel.
A shattered faith or a hard defeat.
But dream of your marbles and tops and drums.
And soldiers that guard so brave and long
And just be a boy till the end of time:
A symbol of laughter and love and song.
