Hope Floats movie - Paper Wings lyrics

rate me

Song by Gillian Welch<br /><br>

[VERSE 1:]<br>

Paper wings, all torn and bent<br>

But you made me feel like they were heaven sent<br>

Paper wings, not real at all<br>

But they took me high enough to really fall<br>

Your paper kisses, faded too soon<br>

Just like a paper rose, beneath a paper moon<br>

Paper wings, paper wings<br>

Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings<br>

<br>

[BRIDGE:]<br>

Angels singing, didn't you hear<br>

If only I'd listened close, when they whispered in my ear<br>

<br>

Paper wings, paper wings<br>

Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings<br>

I tried to fly but found that I had only paper wings<br>

<br>
