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 the folks you knew
And it's plain to see
that the likes of me
don't fit with you
So you traded me
for the gaiety
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 news most every day
You're the chosen girl
of the social world
so the stories say
But a paper smile
only lasts a while
then it fades away
And the love we knew
will come home to you
some day
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
When the new wears off
of your crystal
chandeliers
