City Lights
recorded by Ray Price
written by Bill Anderson
G
A bright array of city lights
C
As far as I can see
D7
The great white way shines through the night
G
On lonely guys like me
The cabaret's and honky tonks
C
Their flashing signs invite
D7
A broken heart to lose itself
G
In the glow of city lights
D7
Lights that say forget her name
G
In a glass of sherry wine
D7
Lights that offer other girls
G
For empty hearts like mine
They paint a pretty picture
C
Of a world that's gay and bright
D7
And it's just a mask for loneliness
G
Behind those city lights
The world was dark and God made stars
C
To brighten up the night
D7
But God would put the stars above
G
I don't believe made those lights
It's just a place for men to cry
C
When things don't turn out right
D7
Just a place to run away and hide
G
Behind those city lights
D7
Lights that say forget her love
G
In a different atmosphere
D7
Lights that lure are nothing but
G
A masquerade for tears
They paint a pretty picture
C
But my arms can’t hold them tight
D7
And I just can't say I love you
G
To a street of city lights
