Intro
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 cabarets and honky tonks, their
flashing signs invite..a broken heart to
lose itself, in the glow of city lights.
Chorus
Lights that say, forget her name, in a glass
of sherry wine.
Lights that offer other girls, are 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.
(INTERLUDE:)
Chorus
The lights that say, forget her love, in a
different atmosphere.
The lights that lure are nothing, but 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.
Outro
City lights..
