Little wooden house Wound up on the shelf Chipped white paint Same as when you left Tiny dancer spins Frozen porcelain smile Turning in circles I watch for a while Love’s in a snow globe Right there But I can’t touch Hands on the glass So close Still never close enough You’re in that music box Fading in a silver key I hear the song we wrote But you can’t hear me Soft Sad melody Glows in the dark Plays our almost Right through my heart I keep pulling the chain Till it pulls on me Every note falls Where you used to be Love’s in a snow globe Right there But I can’t touch Hands on the glass So close Still never close enough You’re in that music box Fading in a silver key I hum along alone But you can’t hear me If I break the glass I lose the song If I leave it whole You’re always gone So I wind it again Till it softly cries Love I can’t reach Still stuck inside Love’s in a snow globe Right there But I can’t touch Hands on the glass So close Still never close enough You’re in that music box Spinning where I can’t be I let the last note fall You still can’t hear me
