City Lights (feat. The Time Jumpers)

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 cabarets 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 the God who put the stars above
 I don't believe he 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
 I just can't say "I love you"
 To a street of city lights
 I just can't say "I love you"
 To a street of city lights
