When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?
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
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 find there's no magic
And dreams are just things
That fall through
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?
You play in the sand
And you don't understand
The words I say
Or the fear mommy feels
That the wrong man will steal
My baby someday
Someday you will have
All these troubles
That don't trouble you
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 find there's no magic
And dreams are just things
That fall through
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?
