DJ, who sings the song Paper Rosie? Not Paper Roses by Marie Osmond. A guy sings it and here are some lyrics:
"Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie, She sold paper roses, and they only cost a dime, Buy my roses, Pretty roses, She sold you paper roses, and they only cost a dime"
Sounds corny when written, but it was a beautiful tune. ;)

Number B. There was a more recent song about a little boy whose parents were getting divorced, and they were spelling everything so he wouldn't know what they meant, but he knew what they were spelling. Lyrics: "Hey D-A-D-D-Y, I saw M-A-M-A cry, Say you're not goin' away, Is it because of me?, Have I been B-A-D?, Please, daddy, please won't you stay?, 'Cuz if you leave, What will you do with M-E?"

Can you help with those, please? :)

I'm not DJ, but I guess I'll tell you anyway. ;)

The 1st one is "Paper Rosie" by Gene Watson. Not sure of the year, but it is on his greatest hits. I really like his song "Got No Reason Now For Goin' Home."

The second one is "What Will You Do With M-E" by Western Flyer off Back in America from 96.

Western Flyer!! Yes, I remember them!! Didn't they also have a song called "Cherokee Highway"? It was about a little white boy who found out his best friend's dad (who was black) was killed by the KKK and his dad was a member. Powerful tune, powerful message.

I need to get that CD. Have they done anything recently, TJ? :)

Almost forgot to say: Thank You! :*

Yes, that was them. That song was off their album 2 years earlier.

I don't think so, I couldn't find anything.

Anything for you! ;)
