Big City Lights - Average White Band

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
