You left a note on the fridge
Coffee ring on the edge
Half a peach in the bowl
Still your shoes by the door
I keep moving around
Like your ghost in the house
Every room has your name
Every wall says it loud
And I try to act fine
But it folds in my hands
One small crack in the night
And I fall where I stand
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
Hold the line, hold me close
Till the morning lets go
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
If you leave, take it slow
I’m not ready to know
There's a dent in the couch
From the way you would sit
Old receipt in your coat
And the dog still waits there
I found your red hair tie
On the sink, by the soap
Such a little thing
But it hit like a stone
And I try to act fine
But it folds in my hands
One small crack in the night
And I fall where I stand
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
Hold the line, hold me close
Till the morning lets go
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
If you leave, take it slow
I’m not ready to know
If I call your name
Will the dark answer back?
If I open the door
Will it bring you back?
I don't need forever
Just one more good look
One more tiny moment
Like a line in a book
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
Hold the line, hold me close
Till the morning lets go
Paper moon, stay a while
Paper moon, make me smile
If you leave, take it slow
I’m not ready to know
