THE CRYSTAL GAZER
(Frank Petch)

Reggie Goff (with Cyril Stapleton & his Orchestra)
Backing Singers indicated thus: ( )


There's a crystal gazer down at the fair
She's a lady with a rose in her hair
If you're feeling romantic
She'll be your guide

She can look into the crystal and see
What your fortune and your future will be
And they tell me the crystal
Has never lied

It seems that this weaver of dreams
Deals in romance all the day through
But her life's not the romance it seems
(Her own dreams never come true)

She can soon arrange a stranger's affairs
But she tries to hide the worries and cares
Of the one broken romance
She'll never mend
(She'll never mend)

(It seems that this weaver of dreams
Deals in romance all the day through)
But her life's not the romance it seems
(Her own dreams never come true)

She can soon arrange a stranger's affairs
But she tries to hide the worries and cares
Of the one broken romance
She'll never mend
(Of the broken romance)
(All)
She'll never mend
