city lights

[00:11.44] A bright array of city lights as far as I can see

[00:19.94] The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me

[00:28.17] The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite

[00:36.94] A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights

[00:48.36] Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine

[00:56.60] Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine

[01:05.35] They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright

[01:13.60] But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights

[01:42.29] The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night

[01:50.96] The God who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights

[01:59.46] Oh it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right

[02:07.70] Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights

[02:19.11] Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere

[02:27.63] Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears

[02:36.14] They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold them tight

[02:44.66] And I just can't say I love you to a street of city lights
