City Lights Lament Lyrics & Chords By Sam Shaber

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.
