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,
`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:
