Hey - (look at) those big city lights 
They won't shine tonight for me 
It's raining - I'm walking the streets 
My heart is way down - down in my shoes 
Talking, talking to myself, 
There's nobody else who can hear me 

Your love put me on the corner 
When I came back and found you were gone 
Tonight I feel the city won't 
let me come home 

Hey - (look at) those big city lights 
They used to be so friendly to me 
I came to New York to make it our home 
Now you've gone and left me here - here on my own 
East side, West side - who's on my side 
If I could find where you are I might know 

Laughing and drinking 
with bad weather friends 
Makes me forget for a while 
But every time I drain my glass 
all I can see is your smile 

Hey - (look at) those big city lights 
Buildings closing in on me 
Hey - (look at) those big city lights 
Only make it harder to see 

I can't believe you really left me 
All this time you said I was your man, 
But I'm gonna find you, 
and I know that I can, 
know that I can 

Hey - 
Tell me what about those big city lights 

REPEAT
