(Bill Anderson) The 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. --- Instrumental --- The world was dark and God made stars To brighten up the night Did the God who put those stars above Make those city lights. Did he make a place for men to cry When things don't turn out right Are we just supposed to run 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... |
