Lyrics

[Verse] Don't these city lights light these streets to life Don't these crazy nights bring us together Any rainy day you can dance your blues away Don't these city lights bring us together [Bridge 1] Charlie Chaplin's cane, well it flicked away the rain Things weren't quite the same after he came here But then when he left, upon our own request Things weren't quite the same after he came here [Verse] Don't these city lights bring these streets to life Don't these crazy nights bring us together Any rainy day you can dance your blues away Don't these city lights bring us together [Bridge 2] We're supposed to be a land of liberty And those city lights to blaze forever But that little tramp leaning on that street corner lamp When he left us, his humor left forever [Instrumental Verse] [Bridge 2] We're supposed to be a land of liberty And those city lights to blaze forever But that little tramp leaning on that street corner lamp When he left us, his humor left us forever, ever [Verse] Don't these city lights bring the streets to life Don't these crazy nights bring us together Any rainy day you can dance all your blues away Don't these city lights bring us together Together
