statler brothers - city lights lyrics
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 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 gl-ss 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
[ fiddle ]
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 athmosphere
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
