Blake Rayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling and ur eyes are blue.
City lights keep on shining.
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling eyes are blue.
I took her to the country.
But she just wouldn't stay.
City lights keep on shining.
She was a dancer in a stage of light.
City lights keep on shining.
All I wanted was a wife.
Country boy city girl couldn't make it out a day.
But living in this crazy world it just not mean to be
City lights keep on shining.
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling eyes are blue.
Country boy city girl we were like night and day.
I took her to the country.
But she just wouldn't stay.
City lights keep on shining.
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling and ur eyes are blue.
Shining... Shining... Shining on u and me
Shining... Shining... Shining like it use to be.
City lights keep on shining.
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling and ur eyes are blue.
Shining... Shining... Shining on u and me
Shining... Shining... Shining like it use to be. (repeat till end)
City lights keep on shining.
Remains me of the love we knew.
City lights keep on shining.
I see smiling and ur eyes are blue.
