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
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 I don't believe the God above
Made those city lights
Or 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
Of all world thats screed right
But I just can't say I love you
To a street of city lights
