Story Behind The Song
Personal ambition, musical hub for most of the world is New York right now and all eyes are focusing on it, wrote another song called New York calling but then binned that when Jayz and Alicia did empire state and paloma faith did new york, went back to the drawing board wanted something with similiar meaning but wanted to make it more general then my friend emailed me a nightime shot of I think hong kong and thats where City lights title was from

Lyrics
I think of you as I fall asleep
when im lost and a drifting far
time is fading but im sure youll see
why your the only one for me
Chorus
I hope these lights will shine on me x2
Verse 2
You are the bassline to my entire life
when im lost and a drifitng far
the only drug i will ever need
The only place i may never see
I hope these lights will shine on me
an I hope these lights will shine on me
Shine on me
Shine o -on me
shine on me
These City Lights
I think of you as a fall asleep
When im lost and drifting far
you are the bassline to my entire life
when im lost and drifting far
I hope these lights will shine on me
an I hope these lights will shine on me
Shine on me
Shine o -on me
shine on me
These City Lights
These City Lights
These City Lights
City light
