City Lights Lyrics - Jerry Lee Lewis

A 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 arms like mine 

They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright 

But it's just a mask of 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
