a bird in a gilded cage - lmp (la musique populaire) lyrics
[verse 1]
the ballroom was filled with fashion’s 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
(it’s good enough)
[verse 2]
i’m only a bird in a gilded cage
a beautiful sight to see
you might think i’ms happy and free from care
i’m not, though i seem to be
’tis sad when you think on my wasted life
for youth cannot mate with age
and my beauty was sold
for an old man’s gold
i’m a bird in a gilded cage
