City Lights
recorded by Ray Price
written by Bill Anderson
D
A bright array of city lights
G
As far as I can see
A7
The great white way shines through the night
D
On lonely guys like me
The cabaret's and honky tonks
G
Their flashing signs invite
A7
A broken heart to lose itself
D
In the glow of city lights
A7
Lights that say forget her name
D
In a glass of sherry wine
A7
Lights that offer other girls
D
For empty hearts like mine
They paint a pretty picture
G
Of a world that's gay and bright
A7
And it's just a mask for loneliness
D
Behind those city lights
The world was dark and God made stars
G
To brighten up the night
A7
But God would put the stars above
D
I don't believe made those lights
It's just a place for men to cry
G
When things don't turn out right
A7
Just a place to run away and hide
D
Behind those city lights
A7
Lights that say forget her love
D
In a different atmosphere
A7
Lights that lure are nothing but
D
A masquerade for tears
They paint a pretty picture
G
But my arms can’t hold them tight
A7
And I just can't say I love you
D
To a street of city lights
