"Paper Dolls" in DREAMS OR DUST

Glendalough Sigmaringen sings "Paper Dolls" in DREAMS OR DUST original musical, the third story of THE WHIRLWIND CHRONICLES novel/musical series. 

VERSE:                                  

People are as fragile as paper dolls.

They crinkle and they tear,

And when one of them falls,

You can’t always paste them back together.

So love them while they last.

Time goes by so fast.

People are as fragile as paper dolls.

VERSE:                                   

People are as dainty as paper dolls.

They smile, and they cry,

And if one of them lolls,

You should always wrap them in a feather,

And treat them like a gem.

Help and don’t condemn.

People are as dainty as paper dolls.

BRIDGE:                                

You have to act so graciously,

‘Cause you won’t have them forever.

You can’t approach tenaciously,

Or they might try to sever the bond

From you into their hearts.

VERSE:                                   

People are as lovely as paper dolls.

They brighten up your life,

And when one of them palls,

You must always trust in life’s endeavor.

Just hold them in your arms.

Keep them from all harms.

People are as lovely as paper dolls.

TAG:                                       

Can’t keep them in your pocket.

Find a picture locket and remember . . .

People are as fragile as paper dolls,

Paper dolls, paper dolls.
