Crystal Chandiliers

Crystal Chandiliers - Charley Pride

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 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 world 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
