Beside the Fbraes of Cdawn one Gclear new CmorningF

CHORUS 2:
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the Gdancing CfloorF  
We can turn our lives Caround
Just Fleave behind that wretch that Gyou have beenC  F

No, nothing's Fall that it Cseems in the Gstrands and the CweavesF  
Our steps renewed, our lips Cconfess
We were Fstranded at the Calter of unGknown deClightsF  
Down on the Groad to happiCness
And as the Fsunlight Cfills the Ghighland ChillsF  
It's all become so clear Csomehow
That the Fdays we Cspend are not Gmade to CendF  
We stand Gforever in their Cglow
