Paper Roses is the title song of Marie Osmond’s debut album. It is a cover version of Anita Bryant’s 1961 song.
In 1973, the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart, making Marie the first female country singer at the time to have a number-one hit...
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
Paper roses
Paper roses
Oh, how real
Those roses seem to be
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 a big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
Paper roses
Paper roses
Oh, how real
Those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
Paper Roses was written by Fred Spielman & Janice Torre.
Paper Roses was produced by Sonny James.
Marie Osmond released Paper Roses on Sat Aug 25 1973.
