Paper Teardrops
Curlers and headbands, Barbie and Ken
Broken down dollhouse; youa019d still pretend
Teddies and rabbits; a room like a zoo
These are the memories that I have of you
Those were the fun days
As together wea019d play
Quickly the years sure have flown
Now that youa019re older,
This old house seems colder
Since you moved out on your own
Chorus
Paper teardrops cut out at night
Cut from the pages of poems youa019d write
Paper Teardrops made out of love
Painted with goodness from God up above
Braces and boyfriends, homework and band
Homecoming dances no fear of romance
Dealing with heartbreaks you were so strong
You had to learn what was right and was wrong
Those were the good days
Wea019d sit on the stairway
And youa019d recite me your poems
Now that youa019re older,
This old house seems colder
Since you moved out on your own
Chorus
Paper Teardrops cut out at night
Cut from the pages of poems youa019d write
Paper Teardrops made out of love
Painted with goodness from God up above
Couple years later, frames on the shelf
Beautiful children; a mother yourself
Time with your family; nothing compares
The times when you call me; they show me you care
These are the good days
Thank the Lord when I pray
For blessing me with these new lives
Now that Ia019m older
My years seem so much shorter
Paper teardrops still fill up my mind
Chorus
Paper Teardrops cut out at night
Cut from the pages of poems youa019d write
Paper Teardrops this fathera019s love
Painted with goodness from God up above
