|
The 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 [ fiddle ] |
|
The world was dark and |
|
God made stars to brighten up the night |
|
Did the God who put those stars above make those city lights |
|
Did he make a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right |
|
Are we just supposed to run 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 but my arms can't hold them tight |
|
And I just can't say |
|
I love you to a street of city lights |
