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 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 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
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
The God who put the stars above
I don't believe made those lights
Oh 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 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
And I just can't say I love you
to a street of city lights
