Crystal Chandelier Lyrics By Vic Dana

    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
