Lyrics
teddy bear,dolls everywhere
a goldfish in a bowl
raggety ann,peter pan
a barbie doll lunch box for school
i sit and stare at her little chair
and i hear her laughter all around
down the hall ihear her call
mommy here i come ready or not
then the tears fill my eyes
when i finally realize
she'll never play in this room again
the lord took her yesterday with him
and as the tears fill my eyes
lord i'm sorry if i criticize
i'm only human lord take my hand
and please help me to understand
{violin solo}
mickey mouse,a big doll house
donald duck and all of his friends
a little kitchen set and many stuffed pets
are memories that will never end
{chorus again}
