City Lights

City Lights - Debbie Reynolds

The bright array of city lights

As far as I can see

The Great White Way

Shines through the night

For lonely guys like me

The cabarets and honky tonks

Their flashing signs invite

For broken heart can lose itself

In the glow of city lights

Lights that say forget her name

In a glass of sherry wine

Lights that offer other girls

For empty hearts like mine

They paint a pretty picture

Of a world that's gay and bright

But it's just a mask for loneliness

Behind those city lights

The lights that say forget her love

In a different atmosphere

The lights that lure are nothing but

A masquerade for tears

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
