| I fell for you like snow on the trees
|
| On the night we walked alone at seventeen
|
| And my cheeks were colored rose
|
| But it wasn’t from the cold
|
| It was the way you looked at me
|
| But feelings fade and your eyes don’t say
|
| «I love you» like the way they did before
|
| And the home we made somehow became
|
| Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
|
| Cause we built this gingerbread house
|
| Four walls of sugar and flour
|
| Built up to watch it fall down
|
| Gumdrops and tars on the ground
|
| So sad it goes so fast
|
| But candy hearts wren’t made to last
|
| I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
|
| I guess I didn’t know what you meant to me
|
| Till I was all alone puttin' up the tree
|
| But the lights don’t seem to glow
|
| The way they did before
|
| When you were next to me
|
| Cause feelings fade and I can’t say
|
| «I love you» like the way I did before
|
| And the home we made somehow became
|
| Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
|
| Cause we built this gingerbread house
|
| Four walls of sugar and flour
|
| Built up to watch it fall down
|
| Gumdrops and tears on the ground
|
| So sad it goes so fast
|
| But candy hearts weren’t made to last
|
| I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
|
| Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives
|
| So high the fourth of July, the seasons change
|
| So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
|
| I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
|
| Cause we built this gingerbread house
|
| Four walls of sugar and flour
|
| Built up to watch it fall down
|
| Gumdrops and tears on the ground
|
| So sad it goes so fast
|
| But candy hearts weren’t made to last
|
| I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house |
