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 those you knew

And it's plain to see

That the likes of me

Don't it too well with you

Cause you traded me for

The gaeity 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 paper

Almost every day

And you're the chosen girl

Of the social crowd

So the stories say

But a paper smile only lasts awhile

And then it fades away

And the love we know will

Come home to you someday

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
