ray price - city lights lyrics
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 gl-ss of sherry 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 god who put the 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 pretty picture but my arms can’t hold them tight
and i just can say “i love you” to a street of city lights
