When You Leave My World

Just a honey haired girl in a paper doll world

That's what you are

You're only six, believe magic tricks

And wishing on a star

Today I can hold you

Tomorrow who knows what you'll do, ooh ooh

When you leave my world

What will the world do to you?

Will you win the hand of a man

Who will make your life gay

Or love many times only to find

You lose every game that you play

When you learn there's no magic

And dreams are just things that fall through

When you leave my world

What will the world do to you?

She plays in the sand and don't understand

The words I say

Or the fear mommy feels the wrong man will steal

My baby someday

Today I can hold you kiss and console you

Tomorrow who knows what you'll do

When you leave my world

What will the world do to you?

Will you win the hand of a man

Who will make your life gay

Or love many times only to find

You lose every game that you play

When you learn there's no magic

And dreams are just things that fall through

When you leave my world

What will the world do to you?
