Ray Price - City Lights lyrics

Your rating:

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 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
 But God who put the stars above I don't believe 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 them tight
 And I just can say "I love you" to a street of city lights
