City Lights
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see,
The great white wave shines through the night for lonely guys like me.
The cabarets and honky-tonks there flashing signs invite A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.
Lights that say forget her name and a glass of sherry wine Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine.
They paint a pretty picture of a world that’s gay and bright, But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.
The world was dark and god made stars to brighten up the night,But god who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights.
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right. Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights.
Lights that say forget her love in a different atmosphere, Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears.
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold her tight, And I just can't say I love to a street of city lights.
