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 beneath 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
