Ivory Joe Hunter - City Lights lyrics

rate me

The bright array of city lights<br />

As far as I can see<br />

The Great White Way<br />

Shines through the night<br />

For lonely guys like me<br />

<br />

The cabarets and honky tonks<br />

Their flashing signs invite<br />

A broken heart to lose itself<br />

In the glow of city lights<br />

<br />

Lights that say forget her name<br />

In a glass of sherry wine<br />

Lights that offer other girls<br />

For empty hearts like mine<br />

<br />

They paint a pretty picture<br />

Of a world that's gay and bright<br />

But it's just a mask for loneliness<br />

Behind those city lights<br />

<br />

The lights that say forget her love<br />

In a different atmosphere<br />

The lights that lure are nothing but<br />

A masquerade for tears<br />

<br />

They paint a pretty picture<br />

But my arms can't hold them tight<br />

And I just can't say I love you<br />

To a street of city lights
