(Bill Anderson)
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 cabaretes 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.
--- Instrumental ---
Lights that say forget his love
In a different athmosphere
Lights that lure are nothing but
A masquarade 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...
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 cabaretes 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.
--- Instrumental ---
Lights that say forget his love
In a different athmosphere
Lights that lure are nothing but
A masquarade 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...
