Verse 1
 
One day the Sun will come down from the  sky,
 /           /              /             /
Win -ter will fly, and I won’t be cold,
 /             /       /           /
Gar-dens will light up with bright apple walt-zes,
  /             /             /           /
Gin-gerbread  hors-es  that  nev-er grow old

       B        A       E             A                B
And I hope it will be snowing on the day they make me Tsar,
      B        A      E              B        A      E
I’ll go just where I want to, and I won’t be lead a-round,
     B       A      E                 A                       B
I’d like to try to-day, but then I’m much too small for the crown

Verse 2

 Ani-mals will tra-vel from dis-tances far,

 Lead by a star, to peep in my door,

 All kinds of stran-gers will come with no dan-ger,
