Connie Smith - City Lights Lyrics

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

The great white way shines through the night for lonely girls like me

A cabarete a honky tonk 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 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

Lights that say forget his 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
