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 didn't fit with you

So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

And then turned away from the love I offered you

Oh the crystal chandeliers...

I see your picture in the papers most every day

And I know that you're the chosen girl of the social
world so the stories say

But you know honey a paper smile only lasts for a while
and then it fades away

And the love we knew will come home to you some day

Oh the crystal chandeliers...

When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
