A Bird In A Gilded Cage Lyrics

The ballroom was filled with fashions throng,
It shone with a thousand lights,
And there was a woman who passed along,
The fairest of all the sights,
A girl to her lover then softly sighed,
There's riches at her command;
But she married for wealth, not for love he cried,
Though she lives in a mansion grand.
Chorus:
She's only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see,
You may think she's happy and free from care,
She's not, though she seems to be,Traditional - A Bird In A Gilded Cage - http://motolyrics.com/traditional/a-bird-in-a-gilded-cage-lyrics.html
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life,
For youth cannot mate with age,
And her beauty was sold, for an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gilded cage. 2. I stood in a churchyard just at eve',
When sunset adorned the west,
And looked at the people who'd come to grieve,
For loved ones now laid at rest,
A tall marble monument marked the grave,
Of one who'd been fashions queen,
And I thought she is happier here at rest,
Than to have people say when seen.
Chorus:
