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
