Paper Roses

Dan Nordbye

Sides face, Grand Square
I realize the way your eyes deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of
Allemande Left and Weave the Ring
Paper roses, Paper roses
Oh, how real those roses seemed to me
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But like the big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart

Heads/Sides Square Thru in the middle go 4 now
With the Corner lady there Slide Thru and Roll
Left Swing Thru, Recycle now
Veer to the Right and Ferris Wheel around you go
Pass Thru, Touch 1/4, then you Scoot Back
Swing the Corner lady and you Promenade
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

Like your imitation love for me
