City Lights – Mickey GilleyBy A bright array of city lightsAs far as I can seeThere great white wave shines through the nightOn lonely guys like meThe cabaret’s and honky tonksThe flashing signs and lightsThe broken heart to lose itselfIn the glow of city lightsLights that say forgive her nowIn a glass of sherry wineThe lights that offer other girlsFor empty hearts like mineThey paint a pretty pictureOf a world that’s gay and brightAnd it’s just a mask for lonelinessBehind those city lightsThe world was darkGod made the stars to brighten up the nightBut the guy that put those stars aboveI don’t believe he made those lightsIt’s just a place for me to cryWhen things don’t turn out rightJust a place to run away and hideBehind those city lightsLights that say forget her loveIn a different atmosphereLights that lure are nothing butA masquerade for tearsThey paint a pretty pictureOf two arms that hold you tightAnd I just can’t say that I love youTo a street of city lightsNo, I just can’t say that I love youTo a street of city lights… www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
