City Lights - Ray Price
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
There 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
The God who put the stars above
I don't believe made those lights
Oh 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 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
