Golden Lanterns

D Oh, the golden lanterns glow A G D Casting shadows on your grand abode A D Sculptures line the marble floor A G D Like silent guards behind closed doors A But when the party winds down D And echoes fade through the town A Will those bright, fleeting friends Stay when the magic ends G D Of your golden lanterns' light? G We never walked the same path D Through the lives we used to know A Now its clear as day A7 That a heart like mine D Just doesnt belong in your world G So you chose the glittering stage D Over the love I gave E And turned your back A On the bond we once had D Oh, the golden lanterns glow A G D Casting shadows on your grand abode Sculptures line the marble floor A G D Like silent guards behind closed doors A But when the music dies And the spotlight flies D Will anyone see A The weight behind your smile D When the show is through? D Bm I see your name in headlines F#m Living large, they all agree G The toast of every scene A D Just like the world imagined youd be A But a painted sky Cant hide the night Bm It dims with time G And the truth you left behind A Might find its way back to you D Oh, the golden lanterns glow A G D Casting shadows on your grand abode Sculptures line the marble floor A G D Like silent guards behind closed doors A But when the dawn breaks clear Bm And illusions disappear A Will someone stay near A D A Bm When the golden light fades? HUMMMMMM G D When the golden light fades?
