Lyrics

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
