City Lights - Single Version

A bright array of city lights as far as I can see.
 The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me.
 The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite,
 A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.
 Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry 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 I don't believe that God above, made those city lights,
 Or 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 athmosphere,
 Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears,
 They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright,
 But I just can't say I love you to a street of city lights.
