City Lights

In the style of

Mickey Gilley

Lyrics

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
the broken heart
to lose itself
in the glow of
city lights

lights that say
forget her name
in a glass of
sherry wine
lights that offer
other girls
for empty hearts
like mine

they paint
a pretty picture
of a world that's
gay and bright
and it's just a mask
for loneliness
behind those
city lights

the world was dark
god made the stars
to brighten up
the night

but the god who put
those stars above
i don't believe
he made those lights

it's just a place
for me 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
ah but my arms
can't hold 'em tight
and i just can't say
that i love you
to a street of
city lights

no i just can't say
that i love you
to a street of
city lights
