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
