The little girl dreams one day to eat 
a feast for free 
To be served by waiters the finest food to see 
In beautiful bone china served the finest wines 
While behind her a grandfather clock 
will chime 
To start a soup hot and strong and clear 
Then the steaming goose laughing 
in good cheer 
Her family around her smiling happy kind 
and having a good time 
The little girl dreams one day to eat 
a feast for free 
To be served by waiters the finest food to see 
The little match girl dreams of the finest feast 
With her family the laughter does not cease 
An open fire flickers in the grate 
And in her dream her heart it does not ache
