City Lights Lyrics - Dottie West

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

The great white way shines through the night for lonely girls 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 his name in a glass of cherry wine 

Lights that offer other guys with empty hearts like mine 

They paint a pretty picture of a world so gay and bright 

But I can't say I love you dear to a street of city lights 

Lights that say forget his love in a different atmosphere 

Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears 

Yes 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
