Lyrics Where Beauty Lives in Memory - Dolly Parton
She
stands
before
the
mirror
Smiles
at
her
reflection
Striking
sexy
poses
in
the
glass
She
paints
her
lips
a
brilliant
red
Piles
her
hair
high
on
her
head
Struggles
to
replace
a
false
eyelash
She
powders
up
her
face
Paints
her
cheeks
to
match
her
lips
She
wears
a
dress
cut
low
in
the
front
Fittin'
tight
around
her
hips
And
there
inside
her
room
She
stands
and
gazes
at
herself
Where
beauty
lives
in
memory
She
lives
in
fairy
tales
Mirror,
mirror
on
the
wall
Who's
the
fairest
of
them
all?
She
sings
as
she
goes
waltzing
'cross
the
floor
She
keeps
a
candle
burning
And
she
waits
for
his
returning
When
beauty
lives
in
memory
It
lives
forevermore
She
was
a
fairy
princess
once
And
was
by
all
adored
They
say
she
was
the
fairest
of
them
all
They
called
her
Cinderella
And
they
say
that
every
fella
Would
gladly
answer
to
her
beck
and
call
So
the
story
went
They
tell
of
how
this
handsome
prince
Stole
her
heart
and
wandered
far
away
He
took
her
heart
and
took
her
mind
Now
she
has
lost
all
track
of
time
Forty
years
has
passed
and
still
she
waits
singing
Mirror,
mirror
on
the
wall
Who's
the
fairest
of
them
all?
She
sings
as
she
goes
waltzing
'cross
the
floor
She
keeps
a
candle
burning
And
she
waits
for
his
returning
When
beauty
lives
in
memory
It
lives
forevermore
Meanwhile,
back
inside
her
room
The
shades
are
pulled
it's
half
past
noon
But
in
her
mind
why
it's
forty
years
ago
She
recalls
the
beauty
of
their
love
She
remembers
he
was
beautiful
And
of
course
she
always
knew
she
was
And
so
the
past
unfolds
And
all
at
once
inside
her
mind
She
sees
him
at
the
door
And
as
he's
leading
her
away
She
feels
the
room
begin
to
sway
Where
beauty
lives
in
memory
She
falls
dead
upon
the
floor
Mirror,
mirror
on
the
wall
Who's
the
fairest
of
them
all?
