A 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 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
"PURTY" PICTURE
OF A WORLD THAT'S
GAY AND BRIGHT
BUT IT'S JUST A MASK
FOR LONELINESS
BEHIND THOSE
CITY LIGHTS
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
THE WORLD WAS DARK
AND GOD MADE STARS
TO BRIGHTEN UP
THE NIGHT
BUT GOD WHO PUT
THOSE 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
"PURTY" PICTURE
BUT MY ARMS CAN'T
HOLD 'EM TIGHT
AND I JUST
CAN'T SAY I LOVE YOU
TO A STREET OF
CITY LIGHTS
