Attic Toys Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

(Vallee / Kretzmer) 

Rocking chairs and rocking horses 

Teddy bears and flying saucers 

Brik-a-brak and broken souvenirs 

Christmas lights and covered wagons 

Paper kites and Chinese dragons 

Mingle in the shadows of the years

Attic toys in great profusion 

Lying here in strange confusion 

Cut into the memory like a knife 

Smiling dolls in faded cotton 

Dusty world I'd half forgotten 

Tell again the story of my life 

Smiling dolls in faded cotton 

Dusty world I'd half forgotten 

Tell again the story of my life 

Gone the time and dead the season 

Now I ask the rhyme and reason 

Why my little world got left behind 

Here among this helter skelter 

Taking stock and taking shelter 

I may find a moments peace of mind 

Attic toys in great profusion 

Vanished hopes and disillusion 

Peel away the memories like a knife 

Broken dreams and paradoxes 

Side by side in cardboard boxes 

Recollect the story of my life 

Broken dreams and paradoxes 

Jumbled up in cardboard boxes 

Tell again the story of my life 

Attic toys of pain and pleasure 

Lying here like buried treasure 

Measure of the story of my life
