Oh, the crystal chandeliers |
|
Light up the paintings on your wall |
|
The marble statuettes |
|
Are standing stately in the hall |
|
But will the timely crowd |
|
That has you laughing loud |
|
Help you dry your tears |
|
When the new wears off of |
|
Your crystal chandeliers |
|
I never did fit in too well |
|
With those you knew |
|
And it's plain to see |
|
That the likes of me |
|
Don't it too well with you |
|
Cause you traded me for |
|
The gaeity of the well to do |
|
And you turned away from |
|
The love I offered you |
|
Oh, the crystal chandeliers |
|
Light up the paintings on your wall |
|
The marble statuettes |
|
Are standing stately in the hall |
|
But will the timely crowd |
|
That has you laughing loud |
|
Help you dry your tears |
|
When the new wears off of |
|
Your crystal chandeliers |
|
I see your picture in the paper |
|
Almost every day |
|
And you're the chosen girl |
|
Of the social crowd |
|
So the stories say |
|
But a paper smile only lasts awhile |
|
And then it fades away |
|
And the love we know will |
|
Come home to you someday |
|
Oh, the crystal chandeliers |
|
Light up the paintings on your wall |
|
The marble statuettes |
|
Are standing stately in the hall |
|
But will the timely crowd |
|
That has you laughing loud |
|
Help you dry your tears |
|
When the new wears off of |
|
Your crystal chandeliers |
