City Lights
Willie Nelson, The Time Jumpers
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 cabarets 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 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 The world was dark and God made stars To brighten up the night But the God who put the stars above I don't believe he made those lights For it's just a place for men to cry When things don't turn out right Just a place to run away 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 her tight I just can't say "I love you" To a street of city lights I just can't say "I love you" To a street of city lights
