You're scented letter .............. I got today
it made me smile but it's just not the same
as I press my lips....to the paper with your lipstick mark.

chorus

Paper Kisses ........................to see us through
Paper kisses....................are all.......we can do
But we're still together....in each others hearts

Paper kisses.........till you're here with me
I guess that's just the way.......it has to be
until we get our wishes....it's paper kisses

verse 2

I study every word you write to me
I hold your letter.....so.......tenderly
cause it's all I have.......while we're apart

A heavy sigh.............cuz I'm missing you
but then I smile....cuz you'll be here soon
and I press my lips to the paper with your lipstick mark.

repeat chorus

Bridge
I am wanting......... for the day...............we'll set the pens aside
and once again.....I'll kiss your lips....and have you by my side
