Album: Beautiful Lies [Sugarhill]
(Jim Lauderdale - John Leventhal)
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 of 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.

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 never will 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...
