Golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ? 

Boy in a million, idol, a big star 
I didn't tell you how great you were 
I didn't grovel and scream 
And rip your brand new jacket at the seams 


You made a record, they liked your singing 
All of a sudden the phone stops ringing 
Ah ... I never thought that you would let 
The glory make you forget 


Golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ? 


Top ten idol, king of your age 
Who do you turn to when you're backstage ? 
Don't you remember you once knew a girl 
You loved her more than the world 


Is life always like this, brother ? 
Good for one side but bad for another 
I must put you behind me tonight 
'Cause you belong to the lights 


Those golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ? 


Oh, oh my darling 
WHY ? 
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ? 

Oh ...
