City Lights - Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)/The Time Jumpers

Written by：BillAnderson

A 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 cabaretes and honky tonks

There flashing signs invite

A broken heart to lose itself

In the glow of city lights

Lights that say forget her name

In a glass of cherry 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 world was dark

And God made stars to brighten up the night

The God who put the stars above

I don't believe made those lights

Oh it's just a place for men to cry

When things don't turn out right

Just a place to run away and hide

Behind those city lights

Lights that say forget her love

In a different athmosphere

Lights that lure are nothing

But a masquarade for tears

They paint a pretty picture

But my arms can't hold her tight

And I just can't say

I love you to a street of city lights

I just can't say

I love you to a street of city lights
