A bright array of city lights as far as I can see The great white way shines through the night for lonely girls 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 his name in a gla** of cherry wine Lights that offer other guys with empty hearts like mine They paint a pretty picture of a world so gay and bright But I can't say I love you dear to a street of city lights Lights that say forget his love in a different atmosphere Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears Yes 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
