Karaoké City Lights Mickey Gilley

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

The great white wave shines through the night on lonely guys like me

The cabarets and honky tonks their flashing signs and lights

The broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights

Lights that say forgive her now in a glass of sherry wine

Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine

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

And it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights

The world was dark

God made the stars to brighten up the night

But the guy who put those stars above

I don't believe he made those lights

It's just a place for me 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 atmosphere

Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears

They paint a pretty picture of my arms can't hold 'em tight

And I just can't say that

I love you to a street of city lights

No I just can't say that

I love you to a street of city lights
