🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Oh, the crystal chandeliersLight up the paintings on your wallsThe marble statuettes are standing stately in the hallBut will the timely crowd that has you laughing loudHelp you dry your tearsWhen the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?Never did fit in too well with the folks you knewWhen it’s plain to see that the likes of meDon’t fit with youSo you traded me for the gaiety of the well to doAnd you turned away from the love I offered youOh, the crystal chandeliersLight up the paintings on your wallThe marble statuettes are standing stately in the hallBut will the timely crowd that has you laughing loudHelp you dry your tearsWhen the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?I see your picture in the news most every dayYou’re the chosen girl of the social worldSo the stories sayBut a paper smile only lasts a whileThen it fades awayAnd the love we knew will come home to you somedayOh, the crystal chandeliersLight up the paintings on your wallsThe marble statuettes are standing stately in the hallBut will the timely crowd that has you laughing loudHelp you dry your tearsWhen the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?
