City Lights

A bright array of city lights as far as I can see That 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 in a glass of sherry wine Lights that offer other girls for lonely 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 thosе city lights It's just a place to go and cry when love don't turn out right Just a placе to run away and hide behind those city lights Lights that say forget her in a different atmosphere Lights that lure are nothing more than a masquerade 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 No, I just can't say I love you To a street of city lights
