City Lights Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

The 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 

Did the God who put those stars above make those city lights 

Did he make a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right 

Are we just supposed to run and hide behind those city lights

(Lights that say forget her love) in a different atmosphere 

(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
