Woorden: Jeremy Drakeford. Other. City Lights.

Looking out on the horizon, I can see the city lights
Shining out over the ocean, just like the stars which shine so bright

Alone now here I lie, in the stillness of this night
And I wish that you were here

It seems so long since the sun set, though it was only hours ago
And right now it's almost midnight, but I am never going home

Coz you're so far away, and I need you here tonight
But you're on the other side of this ocean, far beyond these city lights
And i've been counting all the weeks, and every day that passes by
And all that I can do is lie here and pretend you're here tonight

You're the only one, and I only wish you knew
There's a million girls in this city, but none of them are quite like you
And I could wait forever, and girl i'm willing to
The city lights keep shining, just like my love which shines for you

I've always heard this saying, that the city never sleeps
And now i've watched it to the sunrise, I know exactly what that means

The lights they keep on glowing, just like an eternal flame
And like this fire that's in my heart, the one that sparked when I became in love with you on that night, a night which felt just like tonight
And as I look out to the ocean, the sea reflects the city lights

You're the only one, and I only wish you knew
There's a million girls in this city, but none of them are quite like you
And I could wait forever, and girl I'm willing to
The city lights keep shining, just like my love which shines for you
