City Lights (Album Version) - Mickey Gilley

作曲：B. Anderson

A bright array of city lights

As far as I can see

There great white wave shines through the night

On lonely guys like me

The cabaret's and honky tonks

The flashing signs and lights

The broken heart to lose itself

In the glow of city lights

Lights that say forgive her now

In a glass of sherry wine

The 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 lonliness

Behind those city lights

The world was dark

God made the stars to brighten up the night

But the guy that 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

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

Of two arms that hold you tight

And I just can't say that I love you

To a street of city lights

No I just can't say that I love you

To a street of city lights
