City lights keep shining
To remind me that you're there
You may not be with me but I
Can feel that you're somewhere
Far out in the distance
Like a precious gem so rare
As city lights shine on
And sparkle through without a care
Your eyes are lowered down, down, down
Though still they glint so clear
Full of everything you've seen
Of all that you hold dear
A million miles away from me
A hundred miles from here
Ships in the night so far away
Made only to pass near
City lights keep shining
To remind me that you're there
You may not be with me but I
Can feel that you're somewhere
Far out in the distance
Like a precious gem so rare
As city lights shine on
And sparkle through without a care
Stood there I watch the cars go by
On roads so far away
I wait for headlights zooming past-
Like you they cannot stay
When I'm watching from that hill
I blur my eyes against the fray
Yet everything will turn to dust
Come morning light of day
City lights keep shining
To remind me that you're there
You'll never be with me but I
Can feel that you're somewhere
Far out in the distance
Like a precious gem so rare
As city lights shine on
And sparkle through without a care
