Paper Wings

Paper wings, all torn and bent

You made me feel like

They were heaven sent

Paper wings, not real at all

They took me high

Enough to really fall

Your paper kisses faded too soon

Just like a paper rose

'Neath a paper moon

Paper wings, paper wings

Oh, how could I expect

To fly with only paper wings?

Angels were singing, didn't you hear?

If only I'd listened close

When they whispered in my ear

Paper wings, paper wings

Oh, how could I expect

To fly with only paper wings?

I tried to fly but found

That I had only paper wings
