BEAUTIFUL LIES
(Jack Rhodes)

Jean Shephard - 1955 (re-recorded 1969)
Jim Ed Brown - 1968


 

Beautiful lies, beautiful lies
Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise
I can't help but listen and then I realize
The words you have spoken are beautiful lies

Call me a dreamer in a fool's paradise
My heart knows no difference, at love it's unwise
Tell me you love me and will till I die
Like music you thrill me with beautiful lies

Beautiful lies, beautiful lies
Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise
I can't help but listen and then I realize
The words you have spoken are beautiful lies

(Instrumental Break)

I hear wedding bells ringin', I have stars in my eyes
I see red roses bloomin', a rainbow in the sky
All sweet things come to me in the twinkle of an eye
If you hold me and tell me those beautiful lies

Beautiful lies, beautiful lies
Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise
I can't help but listen and then I realize
The words you have spoken are beautiful lies
