Candy kisses wrapped in paper Mean more to you than any of mine Candy kisses wrapped in paper You'd rather have them any old time You don't mean it when you whisper Those sweet love words in my ear Candy kisses wrapped in paper Mean more to you than mine do, dear I build a castle out of dreams, dear I thought that you were building too Now my castles all have fallen And I am left alone and blue Once my heart was filled with gladness Now there's sadness, only tears Candy kisses wrapped in paper Mean more to you than mine do, dear Mean more to you than mine do, dear
