Crystal Chandeliers

Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up
The paintings on the wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in too well
With 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 the wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers

I see your picture in the news most
Every day
You're the chosen one
Of this ocean well
So the story says

Love will paint a smile
Only lasts a while
And it fades away
And the love you knew will come home to you some day

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up
The painting on the wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers
