The Glitter Is Gone

Oh, dear, the glitter is gone
Gone from the mountains, gone with the dawn
Gone are the dewdrops that sparkled the lawn
Gone, dear, the glitter is gone

I told her I loved her. I showed her my heart
She kindly turned me away
She said she must wander and make a new start
But surely, she'd come back this way

Gone, gone, the glitter is gone
Gone from the mountains, gone with the dawn
Gone are the dewdrops that sparkled the lawn
Gone, dear, the glitter is gone

But you were so spiteful when she turned you down
You wore your anger as your crown
You cried from the rooftops that she was too bold
With all of that glitter she could not be gold

She may not love me I understand
I'll be her friend, if not her man
But your poisoned tongue drove her away
Now all is dusk that ever was day

Gone, gone, the glitter is gone
Gone from the mountains, gone with the dawn
Gone are the dewdrops that sparkled the lawn
Gone, dear, the glitter is gone
Gone, dear, the glitter is gone
Gone, dear, the glitter is gone
