Intro: The sweetest dreams I ever heard. How I hung on every word When you told me we would always be together On the earth down below There were things I didn't know When I made all my plans for forever. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes It was so easy to be hypnotised They were nothin' but beautiful lies Well the words came with ease You could paint a masterpiece. Lines couldn't be any clearer Just like castles made o' sand Filled with sleight of hand It was only a trick done with mirrors. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies I heard what I wanted to hear at the time It was so easy to be hypnotised When you told me those beautiful lies Lead guitar and mandolin There's not much left to say 'bout the scenes that I replay That I watch on the walls of my room Now it's lonely and late There's a fool who still waits For the rose that will never bloom Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes It was so easy to be hypnotised When you told me those beautiful lies It was so easy to be hypnotised While you told me those beautiful lies They were nothing but beautiful lies
