Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Paper Mansions
Lyrics for Album: Heart to Heart [1968]



(Ted Harris)



Don't build for me paper mansions that only stand until you've gone

You paint the nastiest futures of anyone I know

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow

You've built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seem so strong

But they're always made of paper not of stone

Don't build for me paper mansions that I can never call my own

For love can't live in paper mansions that only stand until you've gone.



You always been a dreamer dear and I'm a dreamer too

But I guess I've had too many of the kind that don't come true

So don't build me no mansions with paper walls so thin

That only stand until you leave again.



Don't build for me paper mansions that only stand until you've gone

You paint the nastiest futures of anyone I know

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow

You've built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seem so strong

But they're always made of paper not of stone

Don't build for me paper mansions that I can never call my own

For love can't live in paper mansions that only stand until you've gone...
