Dolly Parton - Where beauty lives in memory

^CShe stands before the mirror ^CsusSmiles at her reflection ^CStriking sexy ^Gposes in the ^Cglass ^CShe paints her lips a brilliant red ^CsusPiles her hair high on her head ^CStruggles to re^Gplace a false eye^Clash She ^Gpowders up her face Paints her ^Fcheeks to match her lips

Fittin t^Cight around her hips And ^Gthere inside her room She stands and ^Fgazes at herself Where ^Gbeauty lives in memory ^FShe lives in fairy ^Ctales

^CMirror, mirror on the wall ^CsusWho's the fairest of them all ^CShe sings as she goes ^Gwaltzing cross the ^Cfloor ^CShe keeps a candle burning ^CsusAnd she waits for his returning ^CWhen beauty lives in memory ^GIt lives forever ^Cmore

^CShe was a fairy princess once ^CsusAnd was by all adored ^CThey say she was the ^Gfairest of them ^Call ^CThey called her cinderella ^CsusAnd they say that every fella ^CWould gladly answer ^Gto her beck and ^Ccall ^GSo the story went ^FThey tell of how this handsome prince ^CStole her heart and ^Gwandered far ^Caway ^CHe took her heart and took her mind ^CNow she has lost all track of time ^CForty years has ^Gpassed and still she ^Cwaits singing

^CMirror, mirror on the wall ^CsusWho's the fairest of them all ^CShe sings as she goes ^Gwaltzing cross the ^Cfloor ^CShe keeps a candle burning ^CsusAnd she waits for his returning ^CWhen beauty lives in memory ^GIt lives forever ^Cmore

^CMeanwhile back inside her room ^CsusThe shads are pulled it's half past noon ^CBut in her mind why it's ^Gforty years ^Cago ^CShe recalls the beauty of their love ^CsusShe remembers he was beautiful ^CAnd of course she always knew she was ^GAnd so the past unf^Colds ^GAnd all at once inside her mind She ^Fsees him at the door ^CAnd as he's leading her away

She falls ^Gdead upon the f^Cloor
