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 cabaretes 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, But I don't believe that God above,
made those city lights, Or 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
athmosphere, Lights that lure are nothing but a
masquarade for tears, They paint a pretty picture
of a world that's gay and bright, But I just can't
say I love you to a street of city lights.
