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 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 whirl

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
