City Lights Lyrics - Connie Smith

The bright array of city lights as far as I can see 

The great white way shines through the night for lonely girls like me 

A cabarete a honky tonk their flashing signs invite 

A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights 

Lights that say forget his name in a glass of cherry wine 

Lights that offer other guys 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 

Lights that say forget his 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
