Lyrics Big City Lights - Average White Band

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
