Sam Shaber - City Lights Laments lyrics

City lights out my window Can't keep me company Winking and blinking but they don't know The place I'd like to be Is holding you in London Town That village across the sea And that's why those city lights Can't keep me company. Times Square with all its pageantry It ain't no more my style It's tacky and wacky but it don't see That it can't make me smile But to hold you in London Town I'd gladly walk the miles Because I swear old Times Square Just ain't no more my style. And hey, New York's okay Its wonders never cease But ooo, babe without you I'm never quite at peace. Central Park to some is very grand To me it ain't so fine It's crowded and loud, and don't understand The one thing that's divine Is holding you in London Town And knowing you are mine Central Park is just a lark To me it ain't so fine. And hey, New York's okay Its wonders never cease, But ooo, babe without you I'm never quite at peace. Times Square with all its pageantry It ain't no more my style It's tacky and wacky but it don't see That what would make me smile Is seeing you in London Town Walking slowly down the aisle Baby Times Square, can't compare To me it ain't so fine.
