City Lights

A bright array of city lights
 As far as I can see
 Their great white wave shines through the night
 On lonely guys like me
 The cabaret's and honky tonks
 The flashing signs and lights
 The broken heart to lose itself
 In the glow of city lights
 Lights that say forgive her now
 In a glass of sherry wine
 The lights that offer other girls
 For empty hearts like mine
 They paint a pretty picture
 Of a world that's gay and bright
 And it's just a mask for loneliness
 Behind those city lights
 ♪
 The world was dark
 God made the stars to brighten up the night
 But the guy that put those stars above
 I don't believe he made those lights
 It's just a place for me 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
 Oh, but my arms can't hold on you tight
 And I just can't say that I love you
 To a street of city lights
 No, I just can't say that I love you
 To a street of city lights
