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
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
