Lyrics:

A bright array of city lights as far as I can seeThe great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
The cabarets and honky-tonks their flashing signs inviteA broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lightsLights that
say forget her name in a glass of sherry wineLights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mineThey paint a pretty pict
ure of a world that's gay and brightBut it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lightsThe world was dark and God m
ade stars to brighten up the nightBut God who put the stars above I don't believe made those lightsFor it's just a place for
men to cry when things don't turn out rightJust a place to run away and hide behind those city lights
