City Lights

<br>A bright array of city lights as far as I can see<br>The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me<br>The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite<br>A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights<br>Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine<br>Lights that offer other girls for empty arms like mine<br>They paint a pretty picture of a world that`s gay and bright<br>But it`s just a mask of loneliness behind those city lights<br><br>The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night<br>Did the God who put those stars above make those city lights<br>Did he make a place for men to cry when things don`t turn out right<br>Are we just supposed to run and hide behind those city lights<br>Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere<br>Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears<br>They paint a pretty picture but my arms can`t hold them tight<br>And I just can`t say I love you to a street of city lights
