[Verse 1]
Paper wings
All torn and bent
You made me feel
That they were heaven sent

[Verse 2]
Paper wings
Not real at all
But they took me high
Enough to really fall

[Verse 3]
Your paper kisses
Faded too soon
Just like a paper rose
'Neath a paper moon

[Chorus]
Paper wings
Paper wings
Oh how could I
Expect to fly
With only paper wings?

[Bridge]
Angels were singing
Didn't you hear
If only I'd listened close
When they whispered in my ear
[Chorus]
Paper wings
Paper wings
Oh how could I
Expect to fly
With only paper wings?

[Outro]
I tried to fly
But found that I
Had only paper wings
