City Lights

Bill Anderson

A bright array of city lights as far as I can see
That 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 in a glass of sherry wine
Lights that offer other girls for lonely 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 that God above made thosе city lights
It's just a place to go and cry when love don't turn out right
Just a placе to run away and hide behind those city lights

Lights that say forget her in a different atmosphere
Lights that lure are nothing more than a masquerade 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

No, I just can't say I love you
To a street of city lights
