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 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
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
