Whiter Shade of Pale

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You skipped a light fandango Turn cartwheels across the floor I was feeling kind of seasick The crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought his tray [Chorus] There's only one shade As the mirror chose its share Let her face the worst as costly Turn a whiter shade of pale [Verse 2] You said there is no reason Yet the truth was plain to see That I wander through my playing cards Would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open I might've just as well been closed [Chorus] That's only one shade As the mirror chose his share Let her face the worst just costly And turn a whiter shade of pale
