Paper Mansions Lyrics - Dottie West

Paper Mansions 

Don't build for me no paper mansions 

That only stand until you've gone 

You've 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 seemed so strong 

But they're always made of paper not of stone 

Don't build for me no paper mansion 

That I can never call my own 

For love can't live in paper mansions 

That only stands until you've gone 

[Piano] 

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

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

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

That only stand until you leave again 

DonâE™t build for me no paper mansion 

That I can never call my own 

For love canâE™t live in paper mansions 

That only stands until youâE™ve gone
