City Lights A bright array of city lights, The cabaret's and honky tonks, Lights that say forgive her now, They paint a pretty picture, The world was dark, It's just a place for me to cry, Lights that say forget her love, They paint a pretty picture, No, I just can't say that I love you,
Mickey Gilley
As far as I can see,
There great white wave shines through the night,
On lonely guys like me.
The flashing signs and lights,
The broken heart to lose itself,
In the glow of city lights.
In a glass of sherry wine,
Lights that offer other girls,
For empty hearts like mine.
Of a world that's gay and bright,
And it's just a mask for lonliness,
Behind those city lights.
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.
When things don't turn out right,
Just a place to run away and hide,
Behind those city lights.
In a different atmosphere,
Lights that lure are nothing but
A masquerade for tears.
Of two arms that hold you tight,
And I just can't say that I love you
To a street of city lights.
To a street of city lights...
