(Bill Anderson)      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 cabaretes 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 glass 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.      --- Instrumental ---      Lights that say forget his love   In a different athmosphere   Lights that lure are nothing but   A masquarade 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...
