Ferlin Husky Lyrics
City Lights

WRITER 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 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 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 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
atmosphere (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
