Paper Dolls

Paper Dolls - Michael B. Tretow/ABBA/Ted Gärdestad

Written by：Michael B. Tretow/Thomas H Minor

I can still recall the time I looked into your eyes

And knew my heart would fall

And there was no time for second thoughts

I had to heed the call

Now this house is nearly empty

'Cept what's hangin' on the walls

And the only things that still remain now

Are your paper dolls

Paper dolls

That you always used to cut out

Paper dolls

Just to show our love was true

Paper dolls

Paper dolls saw all the quarrels

Paper dolls

And the promises anew

Only they know how I'm cryin'

Just keep burnin' up inside

And they know there is no place for me to hide

It's so hard to sleep at night

I'm here so all alone just tryin' to forget

But my mind keeps turnin' back the pages

To the day we met

Right now all I have for company

Is one last cigarette

And the doubts and fears and loneliness

That have not faded yet

Paper dolls

That you always used to cut out

Paper dolls

Just to show our love was true

Paper dolls

Paper dolls saw all the quarrels

Paper dolls

And the promises anew

Only they know how I'm cryin'

Just keep burnin' up inside

And they know there is no place for me to hide

Once there was a time I held you in my arms and yet

I knew the end was near

Oh my darlin' how it hurts me

That you left me standin' here

Now I'm countin' lonely hours

Trying not to shed a tear

Paper dolls keep on reminding me

Of things we held so dear

Paper dolls

That you always used to cut out

Paper dolls

Just to show our love was true

Paper dolls

Paper dolls saw all the quarrels

Paper dolls

And the promises anew

Only they know how I'm cryin'

Just keep burnin' up inside

And they know there is no place for me to hide

Paper dolls

That you always used to cut out

Paper dolls

Just to show our love was true

Paper dolls

Paper dolls saw all the quarrels

Paper dolls

And the promises anew
