Paper Roses Lyrics - Hank Snow

I realize the way your eyes deceived me 

With tender looks that I mistook for love 

So take away the flowers that I sent you 

And I'll send the kind that you remind me of 

Paper roses paper roses oh how real those roses seem to be 

But they're only imitation like your imitation love for me 

[ steel ] 

I thought that you would be a perfect lover 

You seemed so full of sweetness after start 

But like a big red rose that's made of paper 

There isn't any sweetness in your heart 

Paper roses paper roses...
