City Lights Lyrics

I saw that sparkle in your eyes on that Thursday night

There was a glimmer of the skies in the brightening lights

The bar was full to the brim with them college kids

But we danced and danced and made the most of it

City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark

The intersections are packed with cars

It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two

Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue

I wake up hearing the pan sizzle as you make us eggs

You're wearing my shirt, it's too big I only see your legs

You give me breakfast as you put on your business vest

I say don't go there still so much of us left

City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark

The intersections are packed with cars

It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two

Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue

I looked outside the window just to see you walk away

We imagined something in those hours we played

I won't see you no more but I'll crave

to see that sparkle in your eyes at a later day

It's hard to think that it was just one night and we're strangers

We felt the love for a brief moment and now we're in danger

Of our hearts being torn from the lack of care

This type of trust looks more and more rare

City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark

The intersections are packed with cars

It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two

Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue
