Crystal Chandeliers
Ted Harris
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuets 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 folks you knew
It was plain to see that the likes of me didn't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And turned away from the love I offered you
Oh the 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...
