City Lights Lyrics

INTRO: D Em G
#1.
A bright array of city lights, as far as
I can see.
The 'Great White Way' shines through the night,
on lonely guys like me.
The cabaret's and honky tonks, their flashing
signs and lights.
The broken heart can lose itself in the glow
of city lights.
#2.
Lights that say forget her now, 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.
And it's just a mask for loneliness, behind
those city lights.
INTERLUDE: G D Am7 G Em7
#3.
The world was dark, God made the stars to brighten
up the night.
But the God who put those stars above, I don't
believe he made those lights.
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.
#4.
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
you tight.
And I just can't say that I love you to a street of
city lights.
OUTRO:
No, I just can't say that I love you, to a street of
city lights.
